The Queen's Coronation: Behind Closed DoorsThe Coronation in 1953 appeared to be a glittering triumph for the House of Windsor. But behind the scenes there was a story of rivalry at the highest level. In this High Society special we'll discover that Prince Philip was at odds with the Queen Mother and the royal establishment over his desire to modernise the monarchy and that the old Queen was uncomfortable with her daughter's sudden rise to power. Elizabeth was caught between her husband and the traditionalists in the royal household who lived in an archaic unchanging world. This documentary with dramatised excerpts and interviews with leading historians examines how Elizabeth eventually agreed to televise the full coronation ceremony inside Westminster Abbey against the initial advice of Prime Minister Winston Churchill and the Cabinet. A decision hotly contested by her advisors it marked a dramatic change in how the monarchy communicated to the public. Unwittingly innocently the Queen had given a huge helping hand to the medium that would do so much to undermine her family in later years. The Changing Face of the QueenHer face has been on the UK's stamps and money for nearly 60 years and over 20 million people worldwide tune in to her Christmas Day speech every year.
