Journey into the six decade reign of one of the world's most influential women. Follow Queen Elizabeth II's remarkable life, from her youth - when few expected she'd ever wear the crown - to her uncle Edward VIII's stunning abdication, and her father's subsequent coronation as King George VI. Witness her experiences during World War II, her own sudden ascension to the throne, and her eventful reign of more than 60 years. She defines the role of a modern monarch, leading the Royal Family and her subjects through the challenges of post-war reconstruction, decolonization, conflicts in South Africa, Northern Ireland and The Falklands, and the emotionally-charged days after Princess Diana's death.

Among those interviewed are former Prime Minister Sir John Major, actor Sir Ben Kingsley, biographer Sally Bedell Smith, Academy Award®-winning screenwriter David Seidler (The King's Speech), director Stephen Frears (The Queen), President George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush, historian John Julius Cooper, Secretary General of the Commonwealth Kamalesh Sharma, and the Queen's cousins Margaret Rhodes and Lady Elizabeth Anson.

HRM Is Fascinating, But this Does Mislead
Review by Ken L. on 05/14/22 review stating HRM Is Fascinating, But this Does Mislead
The title of this series In Their Own Words - Queen Elizabeth makes a veiled promise that we will hear QEII add, in her own words, something new to the record. It hints at self-reflection, which is uncharacteristic of Her Majesty, but would be most fascinating and welcome. What the DVD contains is a patch work quilt of bits and pieces of other documentaries that have been already seen by any fervent fan. It gets a 3 rating, because the source material is excellent, and if it has not already been seen, then this view has a cohesive flow. Yet, it is not what the title says it is.
