Buckingham Palace and a BBC broadcaster said on Saturday that never-before-seen footage of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth as a young girl before ascending the throne will be shown in a new documentary to be released at the end of this month.
The parade on May 29 will precede the celebrations of seven decades since the Queen’s accession to the throne.

“This documentary is an extraordinary glimpse into a deeply personal side of the royal family that is rarely seen, and it is wonderful to be able to show it to the nation as we celebrate their platinum jubilee,” said Simon Young, BBC historical affairs editor.
(BBC) The producers watched more than 400 videos, including behind the scenes of events in the country, as well as more than 300 speeches given by the Queen.
The office of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth said last Thursday that members of the royal family will replace her when the traditional parties return this summer in the garden of Buckingham Palace.
Movement problems have forced the 96-year-old queen to reduce her participation in public events, and the palace said family members would represent her at garden parties returning following the Covid-19 pandemic brought her two years off.
Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her 96th birthday a few days ago in Sandringham, eastern England, which has always been a haven for the Queen and her late husband, Prince Philip, from the turmoil of officialdom and state affairs. Elizabeth spent the day at the Wood Farm Cottage, which she greatly fond of.
Her birthday this year came during the Queen’s platinum jubilee year and 70 years on the throne.
While her birthday was quiet, the usual public festivities will take place from June 2-5, with four days of jubilee celebrations set to coincide with the Queen’s official birthday.
