Sobre este áudio
Focusing purely on Queen Elizabeth II's relationship with television, this book shows how she was ahead of the game in helping to change the face of British television from the outset of her reign in 1953 when she let the cameras into Westminster Abbey. The queen embraced television at a time when Winston Churchill and her government advisors recommended that she should keep them out--on the grounds that the cameras would destroy her royal mystique--right through the 1950s, which was Britain’s television decade (for reasons that are not generally understood today), when Britain became the first nation in the world to have public service television.
In 1969 the queen opened the doors to the cameras once again for the invention of Britain’s first family reality TV, fly-on-the-wall program, showing how she and her husband the Duke of Edinburgh and their children, Charles and Anne, went about their daily lives, thereby giving the seal of royal approval to reality TV, ahead of the first programs in the United States and the UK that followed in her wake.
Queen Elizabeth II can accurately be described as a television queen, the first monarch to understand and embrace television and, in particular reality TV, which is why she was light-years ahead of other royals and her government ministers.
Television became her rites of passage and, not until she ran into bad and stormy weather with Princess Diana in the 1980s and 1990s, did she have any image problems with television. Queen Elizabeth II remains the most televised and visualised person in the world.
