Our Queen doco on ITV

A new in-depth documentary on Queen Elizabeth II speaks to members of the Royal Family and Her Majesty's staff - some talking for the first time.

2013-02-20_0052ITV has announced a new in-depth documentary on Queen Elizabeth II.

Our Queen was filmed during her Diamond Jubilee year and promises unique access  to members of the Royal Family and Her Majesty’s staff – some talking for the first time – to her Prime Ministers and to her residences.

Made by the award-winning producer-director, Michael Waldman, and the best-selling royal author and writer, Robert Hardman, for Oxford Film and Television, Our Queen follows the Jubilee from the inside. It also explores the modern Monarchy, delivering an insight into the way the world’s most famous woman leads the world’s best-known royal house, how she balances tradition with modernisation, and how her level of public affection is maintained amid the ever-changing political and social landscape of her reign.

Filmed throughout 2012, this observational two-hour documentary is a study of leadership, judgement and character, set against the spectacular pageantry of the Diamond Jubilee year, which sets out to provide a close perspective of Our Queen and what she means to Britain and the world.

Our Queen was ordered by ITV’s Factual Commissioning Team.

Jo Clinton-Davis, Controller of Popular Factual, said: “This is a landmark documentary covering an exceptional year in the life of the Queen and we are delighted to be able to broadcast it on ITV later this year.”

Nicolas Kent, Creative Director, Oxford Film and Television, and Executive Producer for Our Queen, said: “We’ve been enormously fortunate. When we set out to make a film about the special relationship between the Queen and the British people, we didn’t anticipate that the combination of the Jubilee and the Olympics would make this such a momentous year for the monarchy and the country.”
