Part 2

This intimate portrait of the monarch captures her at events last summer that marked the 200th anniversary of Trafalgar and 60 years since the end of the Second World War. Plus a glimpse of the weekly meeting between the Queen and the PM and a look back at the 1990s, when divorce and death shook the monarchy to the core.
