Airdate: 10 News First Presents The Queen Carries On: A Gayle King Special

In what could well be a case of over-gilding a lily, 10 next week will present a US special by Gayle King.

10 News First Presents The Queen Carries On: A Gayle King Special is hosted by Sandra Sully.

This aired in the US in May.

I’ll just leave it at that…

Queen Elizabeth II’s reign is the longest in British history; 69 years (and counting) filled with challenge and controversy, romance and heartbreak. Yet, through it all, she remains an enduring and beloved figure, and a woman of few words who commands worldwide attention.

Premiering Wednesday, 14 July at 7.30pm, Gayle King delves into the extraordinary life and reign of Her Majesty, featuring interviews with former U.S. President Barack Obama, Sir Paul McCartney and the world’s leading royal commentators including former Vanity Fair editor, Tina Brown.

Hosted by 10 News First’s Sandra Sully, this exclusive special spans the milestones of her journey from Princess to Queen, her relationship with the late Prince Philip, the collapse of the fairy-tale marriage of Diana and Charles, and her role as grandmother to the two boys Diana left behind after her tragic death.

Wednesday, 14 July at 7.30pm on 10.
