Summary

Perfect for schedules around the 2012 Diamond Jubilee, this remarkable film is not a round up of the last 60 years but rather a unique and exclusive look at a defining period in the Queen’s life – from the moment her father the King died on February 6nd 1952, to the day of her Coronation on June 2nd 1953 – when the shy 25-year-old was suddenly and unexpectedly thrust into the limelight and crowned Queen of England.
 
With rare and previously unseen archive from the time, The Making of a Queen features interviews with the people who were there close to the young Elizabeth, including the Queen's cousin and Lady-in-Waiting, Lady Pamela Hicks, and Sir Edward Ford, Asst Private Secretary to Her Majesty from 1952-1967.
