I’ve not seen this movie, but apparently This Is England has stirred a lot of debate. If anyone has seen it, let us know on the comments! :)

The History of the Imperial State Crown presented by Her Majesty the Queen.

It is fascinating, rare footage of the Queen talking directly about a royal object. She almost never talks about the royal life or regalia, with the exception of this video and a portion of “Elizabeth R”, the 1992 documentary. (see it here at YouTube.)

The music used during the crowning of the sovereign, “Zadok the Priest”, plays towards the end of the video below, and it is guaranteed to give you shivers.

Circa 1970s.

The upcoming DVD review will be Days of Majesty, part of a series of three DVDs which are entitled The Royals Collection/Queen Elizabeth II. For my book review, I will cover Queen and Consort/Elizabeth & Philip: 60 Years of Marriage.

The latest audio is up and running at RoyaltyNow!. It seems that when I promise a show on a specific time and date, something happens that forces me to postpone it. I apologize for the delay of this show, as I feel it is extremely interesting and is a great topic for discussion.

Britain’s Real Monarch was an historical documentary shown on Channel 4 on January 3, 2004, and again on November 20, 2004

Hear it now at Your Royal Information Network.

You need to download the player, but it is worth it. Remarkable footage that has never been seen or hasn’t been seen in years.
