she did not agree Queen Elizabeth II She died Thursday at the age of 96, following giving any press interview, during the 70 years she assumed the throne. Once she broke this ice, when she appeared in a BBC documentary regarding her, in 2018, on the 65th anniversary of her coronation, titled The Coronation.
The mourning of the royal family in Britain continues until the seventh day following the funeral Queen Elizabeth, With the flags remaining at half-mast in all royal palaces. The palace did not say the date of the funeral, but it is likely to take place regarding 11 days following her death. The late Queen is present in British life, from banknotes to stamps. Tens of thousands of people gathered in early June to see the Queen for the last time on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to mark the platinum jubilee of her accession to the throne seventy years ago. The leaders of the countries offered their condolences on the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who held the throne of Britain for seventy years, considering that she imprinted her country and the world and succeeded in attracting the love of the British and non-British people.
The BBC spent 22 years preparing this documentary, which was a media coup, given Queen Elizabeth II’s historic reluctance to deal directly with the press in any way. It is true that Elizabeth II allowed behind the scenes of royal life and made occasional televised speeches, but the “coronation” was the first time she had a direct conversation with a journalist, Alistair Bruce.
In an interview with the documentary’s producer, Anthony Geffen, in 2018, he revealed that “The Crown” was a key element used by presenter Alistair Bruce to persuade Buckingham Palace to stop boycotting the press. “I watched the episode regarding the coronation in (The Crown), and it just struck me: We have Peter Morgan, he’s a great writer, but he mightn’t get to the Queen, telling his version of what happened, and people loved it,” Geffen said. It happened, and the only one who can tell us the truth regarding what happened is the Queen herself.”
In ‘The Coronation’, the jewels in the British royal crown were first depicted, and Geffen said: ‘You have to realize that crowns are very sacred, and even photographing them is seen as if it might somehow devalue them.’
Despite the Queen’s boycott of press interviews, photographers who took her pictures over the years revealed some aspects of her personality, including Chris Jackson, who published last year a book called “Elizabeth II: A Queen for Our Time”, which included 150 color photos in a collection he completed during nearly two decades of Time traveled the world to photograph the British Royal Family. Speaking to Vanity Fair in October 2021, Jackson said he enjoyed taking pictures of all members of the royal family, but that “there is definitely something very special regarding photographing the Queen” which he described as “professional”, “dedicated” and “dedicated” She has amazing energy.”
Sir Cecil Beaton (1904 – 1980) is the most important portrait of the Queen, as his work was instrumental in shaping the public image of the monarchy in the mid-twentieth century. Elizabeth II was still a young princess when she first sat down with Peyton, who was a successful fashion photographer, in 1942. Over the next three decades, he was invited to photograph the Queen on several important occasions, including her coronation in 1953.
Tim Rock also had a chance to photograph the Queen. In an interview with CNN last May, Rock described the experience of approaching Elizabeth II as “surreal”, and said, “In my opinion, there is no person more famous in the world than Her Majesty the Queen. People have always been around the world.” And they will always be, fascinated by her every move, and it’s up to me to capture her photos of those special moments so the media can share them with the world.To name a few, I’ve traveled with the Queen to Australia, South Africa, Canada, Thailand, and Ireland.Tours are always My favorite part of my job is to attend less media and the royal family seems to be more relaxed.”
