It was in 1969 that Queen Elizabeth II let the BBC follow the royal family behind the scenes. The result was a 110-minute film, with scenes never before shown with royalty.
Among other things, 30 million viewers were able to see a Scottish kilt-clad Prince Philip roasting sausages during a picnic at Scottish Balmoral Castle. Other photos showed a naked-chested crown prince on water skis and the queen, who with some hesitation buys an ice cream for Prince Edward.
– This terrible shit will end up in the car, right ?, says the queen.
The events surrounding the documentary are also portrayed in the hit Netflix series “The Crown,” in the fourth episode of the third season.
The documentary was locked up in the archives of the BBC.
Only a few years after the film was screened, it was kept in the archives of the BBC and, probably at the request of Queen Elizabeth, was not shown again. Until now. But as soon as it appeared, it disappeared from YouTube again.
The reason for this must have been the criticism that arose, which meant that the film threatened the monarchy itself, writes the Independent.
Queen Elizabeth herself has never commented on the film, but her daughter, Princess Anne, hated it.
-I always thought it was a bad idea, he said.
– The attention you have received since you were a child, you no longer wanted it. The last thing he needed was even more availability.
