Our Queen at War

Queen Elizabeth II is Britain's longest reigning monarch. Seventy five years after the end of the Second World War, this film draws on interviews with a childhood friend, people who shared her experiences and royal experts to explore how she was transformed from a shy princess into a legendary Queen by what she called 'the terrible and glorious years' of World War Two. Using rarely seen archive, Our Queen at War reveals Princess Elizabeth's extraordinary teenage life; from broadcasting to the children of the Empire, to putting on pantomimes for the war effort at Windsor Castle, to experiencing the terror of the V-1 bomb.
