My Years with the Queen

Four weddings and a funeral (and a coronation). 2021 marks a momentous year for HM the Queen. She will celebrate her 95th birthday in April and in June her husband Prince Philip will be reach the remarkable age of 100. In this one-off documentary, Lady Pamela Hicks talks for the first time on television about her incredible life growing up within the Royal family and her close relationship with the Queen. Lady Pamela is the daughter of Lord Louis Mountbatten, great great-grandaughter of Queen Victoria, cousin to Prince Philip and second cousin to the Queen. She is uniquely placed to document her memories of her years with the Queen whether as her childhood friend, bridesmaid or as her Lady in Waiting. Lady Pamela will be talking to her daughter India, who is also close to the Royal family, having been bridesmaid at the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana. India is able to tease out her mother's stories in a respectful and compelling way.
