Royal Family Marks Queen Elizabeth’s 100th Birthday with Palace Tribute, New Trust and Fresh Reflections

About this episode

The Royal Family commemorates Queen Elizabeth II's 100th birthday with tributes, a new charity, and reflections from King Charles and others.

The Royal Family marks what would have been Queen Elizabeth the Second’s one hundredth birthday with tributes at Buckingham Palace, a new national charity, and a personal address from King Charles. We also look at the new official biography, Helen Mirren’s defence of the late Queen’s decision to remain at Balmoral after Diana’s death, Robert Hardman’s reflections on the shadow of Prince Andrew, and a thoughtful new essay from Deep Crown on the difference between the woman, the monarch and the legend.
