She takes part of an incredible photo shoot on camera. Cecil was not your traditional photographer. He was a very successful fashion photographer. Queen elizabeth was wearing these amazing white dresses and these huge skirts. Her look is completely the opposite of wallaces look. Wallace is sharp, angular, tailored. Elizabeth dislikes wallace. She blames wallace for undermining and almost fatally destroying the british monarchy. So the look is modeled on a 19th century portrait of Queen Victoria who at that time was britains longest serving monarch. So she is aligning herself with royal tradition and duty. And every photograph is a success. The monarchy was still reeling from a crisis. And the image was glamorous queen who brought some of that glamor into the royal family. She was a strong character. She appeared to be joking and a lighthearted person. But she had a rod of steel in there, actually. Queen elizabeth projects this the image, warm, comforting, lovely. George vi was shy. He didnt like public attention. Not like her. At the same time, she is intent on a public image of the ideal family group as opposed to edward and wallace who are childless.

Her mother sees the royal job as a practical job. She teaches her daughter how to meet with dignitaries and conduct royal duties. Princess elizabeth was a shy child like her father. She followed her mothers example very much. England launches an Historic Campaign to solidify friendship in north america. In 1939, the Second World War is on the horizon and george vi and his wife elizabeth embark for america to meet president roosevelt because britain would need all the allies it could get. The American Alliance had been crucial to britains success in the first world war. The diplomatic purpose of the visit is to make a bond with president roosevelt and his wife. The kings brother had visited the United States some ten years earlier and had become beloved by the people of the United States. George did not have that confidence. So a lot is riding on this visit. This is georges moment to prove, not just to america and britain but also to himself. That he can be every bit as wonderful asward. The president and mrs. Roosevelt found the king and queen warm and if anything, regular people, almost immediately. Lelizabeth is central to the success of the tour.

He is constantly ringing up king george with advice and treating him still as the younger brother. He hasnt yet adjusted to the fact that he is not the king. Edward is used to having a sense of entitlement. Now george holds all the power. George vi complains and says most people become king when their predecessor has died and my predecessor is alive and well in france and causing trouble. George expects at any time to be stabbed in the back by his brother. And after a bit, george stops answering the phone. These telephone conversations get too difficult. Tension between the brothers deepen whens king george denies edward the one thing he desires most for his wife. When edward and wallace married, george vi wrote to edward informing him that he will not be giving wallace the title, her royal highness, hrh. Her royal highness, youre treated at a certain level. People curtsy to you at court. What george and elizabeth are clearly indicating is that wallace is not part of the royal family. Edwards whole life is completely changed. He can no longer dazzle wallace with his royal palaces and his status. But there is one man who will exploit edwards desire for deference and status. Hitler is saying come to berlin. Well treat you like royalty. Well treat wallace like royalty. And it is too good an opportunity to pass up. A huge crowd greeted the dutch and duchess of windsor. The nazi party laid out the red carpet forward and wallace. They curtsied to her and treated her royally. By 1937, hitler has a reputation for persecution, the violence of the nazi party, and antisemitism is rife in that country. The fact edward feels like cavorting with the nazis. The verb isuals are damaging indeed. This cause as lot of panic in london. You have the loose cannon duke of windsor meeting with hitler himself. There is a great deal of outrage at edwards trip to germany. The New York Times chasens edwards for allowing himself to be used as a pawn. Edward didnt really sympathize with the nazi buzz he wanted to upstage his brother and be a figure of international importance. So george was really very angry. Less than two years afterwards visit, hitlers army invades poland. The german pole sets the stage for world war ii. Britain and germany are now at war. The king addresses an apprehensive nation. There may be dark days ahead but with gods help, we shall prevail. Shortly after the outbreak of the Second World War, Winston Churchill becomes georges Prime Minister. The relationship is quite frosty in the beginning. Churchill turns up to his weekly audience with the king late. He dominates the conversation and george finds it disrespectful. As the war progressed, they held over 200 meetings, just between the two of them where they could talk freely. The role of the monarch was to be consulted, not to make the decisions. But during the Second World War, he is able to back up churchill and support him. They become mutually very, very close. I think they talked about absolutely everything. That came to be built up between king and my grandfather the most profound trust. Now, King George Vi is facing really the darkest hours as they prepare for the possibility of a german invasion. By september, 1940, london is being subjected to a relentless Bombing Campaign known as the blitz. During the war, the royal family wanted to present themselves as a unifying force. Suffering alongside their people. The symbol that holds the nation together. As the bombing intensifies, the royal family visits areas hit by the blitz. When they go visit these bombed out places, they are really resented. People actually dont want them there. People end up booing and jeering at the royal family. People who have lost everything dont take kindly to the royal family trotting out of their car. They see it as patronizing, being utterly disconnected from the real world. This reaction suggests that the monarchy does not have the support of the british people, and at a time of war when unity is absolutely essential, this is really worrying. For the monarchy to survive, it has to be useful. If they dont succeed to be of service, it may reach a conversation about maybe we dont need a king after all.

On the 30th of september, 1940, the king and queen are at home at Buckingham Palace<\/a> in the drawing room. All of a sudden, the king and queen hear the sound that all londoners have come to dread. The air raid siren. They their whir, whir, whir of german planes coming for them. A bomb fell only a few feet from the palace building. Close to the kings sitting room. A staff member was killed. It was a very, very severe bombing. They realized they were being targeted. They are walking among the debris in the garden. Just like a hundred homes today. The air raid on bucking hap palace is absolutely terrifying for the king and for the queen but it has a great impact on the public image. It bolsters their symbolic appeal as londoners who are resolute. Buckingham palace is bombed several times and the safety of the king and queen is a real issue. And theres quite a lot of pressure for them to leave london. And they absolutely refuse. Truly this is a war of all the people. Were all in it. The next time the king and queen go visit the blitz damage, far from being booed and jeered, this type they get applause. They have become the symbol of keep calm and carry on. The royal family any political power but churchill realizes, they can play a really important part in boosting morale. So it is not just the king and queen involved in the war effort. Princess liz slis enlisted as well and she makes broadcasts. She speaks on behalf of herself and her sister margaret rose. Princess elizabeth is not a natural speaker and at age 14, she has to address the world, really. So it is a big pressure on her shoulders. And when peace comes, remember, it will be for us, the children of today to make the world of tomorrow a better and happier place. It was a magical moment and everybody was moved to tears by these two children assisting their parents, really, in the war effort. We are going to say good night to you. Come organization margaret. Good night and good luck to you all. The war was very terrifying. The idea of having princess elizabeth and Princess Margaret<\/a> rose there was really, really comforting. But king george still has problem to contend with. His exiled brother edward. At this point, edward is still a liability. And the government is increasingly concerned about some of the company hes been keeping, including people with pro nazi sympathies and all of it was undermining george. Churchill exercises his authority as Prime Minister<\/a> effectively to shuffle him off to the bahamas as governor, where it is hoped the duke of windsor can do very little harm. Churchill thought in sending him a long, long way from western europe, you can stay out of trouble. With edward and wallace over 4,000 miles away, king george and Queen Elizabeth<\/a> can focus on boosting National Confidence<\/a> and driving the war effort. They traveled Something Like<\/a> 50,000 miles in the course of the war around the united king do that visiting troops, visiting hospitals, visiting factories. They are everywhere. She is as effective war time queen. She is sympathetic, she is there meeting the people. It is said that hitler calls z elizabeth the most dangerous woman in europe. He fears her most of all. Long live the cause of freedom. God save the king. After six long years of war, hitler is defeated. When victory in europe is declared, the royal family and Winston Churchill<\/a> appear on the palace balcony to celebrate with the crowds. My grandfathers admiration and respect for the crown doing its duty in the country under great pressure was probably the most important thing in his entire life. Just completely mad. It was joyous and everybody was singing and dancing. George broadcast the victory speech to the nation that evening. My grandfather listened to it. At this hour, when the dreadful shadow of war has passed far from our hearth and homes my grandfather made some observations in his diary that the king sounded weary and tired. We may at last make one pause for thanksgiving. The war cops at a huge personal cost for george and to an extent, as he broken man who is not in the best of health. The shadow of war may have lifted. But within georges own family, peace will soon be disrupted by a new man in the life of his eldest daughter.

Get published now, call for your free publisher kit today the Second World War<\/a> has been over for a year. At balmoral, the princess is deep in conversation in greece. He was so good looking. Prince phillip of greece is a direct descendant of Queen Victoria<\/a> just as princess elizabeth of Great Britain<\/a> is also a direct descendant of Queen Victoria<\/a>. This makes them third cousins. Prince phillip was the fifth child of Prince Andrew<\/a> of greece. He had four much older sisters. And within a year and a bit of his life starting, the royal family was overthrown in greece in a military coup and the family had to flee. He comes from a broken hopeful his father has mistress in monte carlo. His mother is shut up with a Mental Health<\/a> illness. He never sees her. Somebody described phillip as very large dog without a basket. In england, he stays with his uncle, lord louie. It was a very difficult childhood. Absent parents. I think my grandfather really took on that role. I think he became more than even an uncle. He sort of impressed by what he sees in the young Prince Phillip<\/a>. He starts to have the ambitions for him. Princess elizabeth first noticed phillip seven years earlier at the Royal Naval College<\/a> in dartmouth. In 1939, when princess elizabeth was a little girl of 13, and Prince Phillip<\/a> was 18 and a naval cadet, the king and the queen with their two daughters came to the college. They played croquet. Prince phillip concentrated on his shot and there is Little Princess<\/a> elizabeth gazing up at him. She was smitten, eye suim s. It did start there. It was a big love story. The feeling was that it had been he mountbatten who engineered this. They wrote letters to each other throughout the war and elizabeth had a photograph of phillip by her bed. When the war was over, they began to see each other very quickly. When he asked her to marry hip in 1946, elizabeth says yes to phillip. But of course, she has to ask her fathers permission. If i ams proposal came as a nasty shock to the king and the queen. Prince phillip would not have been their first choice. He was a foreign prince and he had a lot of german connections. After the war, there is a great deal of antigerman sentiment in the household. The problem for phillip is that three of his sisters were married to nazis and therefore, theres a great deal of suspicion around phillip. Kings private secretary thought that phillip was a rough, crude, coarse sailor who would probably be unfaithful and he didnt trust hip an inch. The king does consent to the marriage but on condition that they postpone the announcement of the engagement. The king hopes a little distance between them means the love will cool a little. The goal was to thank the south african people. Princess elizabeth has never been out of the country before so this is the first opportunity for her to unfurl her wings nd she gates good deal of enjoyment. While theyre on this trim on her twublt birthday, princess elizabeth gives a radio broadcast and this is a key moment in her life. I declare before you all with my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service. Princess elizabeth, unlike her uncle edward, vows to devote herself to a lifetime of public duty when she is crowned queen. Now that is a deliberately antiabdication speech. This is for life. I will not abdicate. When she made that vow, felt it deeply and meant it, every word of it. And has stuck with it throughout her life. After elizabeth returns from south africa, she is still adamant she wants to marry Prince Phillip<\/a>. Londoners have been waiting outside the palace for hours, made their feelings perfectly clear when the princess and her fiance cape will out on to the balcony. Phillip is going to marry into the royal family. You cant do that without a handle to your name. Without a title. He becomes duke of edinburgh. She looked so radiant. So calm and also so glamorous. Everybody suddenly after the war looked rather wonderful. The Royal Wedding<\/a> is a national success. A day of celebration that brightens hard times. And yet the kings health is failing. That ill health is going to have dramatic consequences for the young elizabeth.

Mike im Mike Bloomberg<\/a> and i approve this message. It has just been announced from Buckingham Palace<\/a>, the royal highness, duchess was safely delivered a prince at 9 14 p. M. Buckingham palace in november 1948 Prince Charles<\/a> is born. Almost exactly after the birth, Prince Phillip<\/a> takes up a poster of destroyer checkers based of mother and the princess comes out to join him. I think that when they were together, it was the only time really in their married life when theyve lived like normal peopl people. She could go to dances, talk to the other wives. Go swimming, talk to hair dress so ers. She felt freedom. Must have been the best two years of their lives. And then of course, she had to come back to total reality, back to england. Sympathetic cards with the palace waiting for news. The announcement the king went on an immediate major operation came to a shock to everyone. He had to have removal of one of his lungs. The king had lung cancerme. The operation itself seems to be successful and the king convinces himself that hes Getting Better<\/a> even though george feels hes on the mend, there is a trip he has been planning to do but hes not up to it and he asks princess elizabeth and Prince Phillip<\/a> to go in his stead. Five days after his daughter arrives in kenya, at home, at the age of just 56, the king die dies. Princess elizabeth is already the queen the moment her father dies thousands of miles away. So they have to get the message to her before the news is announced on the radio and communications of course in 1952 are very, very difficult. The palace sends out a coded message to the communicate to elizabeth but there is a problem. The code had to be deciphered and nobody had the code book but the palace thinks elizabeth will be told and so the palace tells the world but elizabeth doesnt know. Elizabeths private secretary hears the king has died but at this point its unconfirmed. Princess elizabeth was in a room writing to her father at the time and there was a radio. Phillips secretary went in and took the radio out of the room. The private secretary hears that the king is actually dead. And so Prince Phillip<\/a> is told. Then Prince Phillip<\/a> has to go to princess elizabeth and say we better go for a walk outside. And in the garden he breaks the news that her father has died. Elizabeth is only 25. Shes lost the father she adored. He was her mentor. He was her guide. And she was utterly devoted to him. He demonstrated to her the meaning of duty. She never expected she would lose him so soon. One rain has ended, a rainno rein begins. All await the queens arrival. My grandfather Winston Churchill<\/a> was worried that he didnt know her at all. There was a generational difference. He would have thought well my goodness, what am i going to talk to her about . There she was, this very vulnerable young woman having to take on what shes going to have to do. I think we were sort of dumbfounded, reality. One wasnt expecting that to happen. She took on this huge job on top of being very, very sad that she lost her father. The opportunity was given for the people to pay tribute. They were passing into the hall at 4,000 every hour. A measure of public sorrow and sympath sympathy. There is an incredibly striking image of georges funeral of the three queens with these incredibly sort of dramatic black vails. Its an image of complete desolation, really, total grief. I remember we had black vails over our faces and it was so sad and poor Queen Elizabeth<\/a>. The queen very young indeed. Goodness knows what was going through her mind. How devastated she must be. The queen is now the head of the royal family. It is her responsibility. She has the biggest job in the world and everyone is watching to see whether she can succeed. Next on the windsors. Phillip and elizabeth with a golden couple but behand the sce hes restless. There are rumors there might be cracks in the kwaqueens marriage and her sister is involved with a divorced man. When there is a conflict between love and duty, it is duty that comes first. The latest in a long line of brides prepares to join the most celebrated family on earth.
