They DID not! She acquiesced to intrusive cameras following the family in a very, very short lived type of reality show/actually, documentary. It's SAID that the complete documentary was only SHOWN ONCE in the UK, on TV, was an enormous hit, yet pulled and allegedly destroyed (Guess not). It was also shown ONCE in America The Queen, who originally agreed to film their allegedly real up close and unprecedentedly personal lives, ONLY in an effort to seem more modern, thought the finished product documentary was way TOO revealing, with all the personal thoughts, moments and feelings SHOWN, and BANNED it from EVER being wholly shown on TV again.

[@HotVoodooWitch]

I've read that this documentary was produced with the best of intentions but it was like opening Pandora's box--once the public got a glimpse into the BRF's personal lives, they couldn't get enough. Kind of a shame.

[@ronaldobrien6870]

So the story goes, but from the clips I've seen, the Queen came across really well in the documentary and I don't fully buy the theory that the filming was a mistake. It was a fascinating glimpse into her life and made her seem more human. I think increased interest in the RF would have happened anyway, documentary or no documentary.

[@HotVoodooWitch]

@@ronaldobrien6870 I didn't post that the family didn't come across well. I said that the documentary helped fuel a desire for more info on their personal lives; it should be pointed out as well that if the family are seen as "not so different from anyone else," there's not a whole lot of reason to defer to its members. I read that the documentary was aired only once for that very reason.

[@Purplenpinkk]

You nailed it! I was listening to Tina Brown's book "The Palace Papers" and it's so interesting, because she talks about how The Queen understood that stuff like this and the overwhelming popularity of Princess Diana - one person in BRF standing out from the the others - was like letting the press get a glimpse of something that they would just want more and more of and could threaten The Monarchy's survival.

[@ronaldobrien6870]

@@HotVoodooWitch For sure, but I think this increased interest in their private lives would probably have happened anyway. The British tabloid press became much more informal in the 1970s and 1980s, as did television. They were inevitably going to start prying into the private lives of the royal family and try and make them seem more human.

[@ronaldobrien6870]

@@Purplenpinkk But on the other hand, it was the Queen who pushed hard for the family to become more visible to the public. It was she who insisted that the Coronation service be televised in 1953 and who started the televised Christmas message in 1957 (even saying that she wished to be "more personal"). What she was clearly afraid of much later on with Diana was the whole thing becoming a daily soap opera and way too much private information and gossip being released, thus making the RF look very ordinary.

When I was growing up, I thought I'd like to be queen. Then, I saw a documentary like "a day in the life of qe2" and changed my mind. Every minute of her day was scheduled. What's the point of being queen if you can't just do what you want? Most humongous respect and admiration for her. Also, now, the King.

I think even in private life they kept a lot of deeper feelings to themselves. It is a kind of self-control that I have always admired because my background is very different, in my family we share all the feelings and that can lead to loud arguments. I guess we can respect each other more if we keep our private life private, as they do. RIP Her Majesty and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh.

Its alleged that the Royal family later regretted allowing this documentary to be made. Princess Anne said that she hated the experience of cameras following them around for a whole year as she dislijed the scrutiny of it. I think it's a wonderful gem to be able to see the Royal family living their daily lives. The public had never before seen the family so up close and personal as they are here. The Queen seems like a lovely Mother, doting on her family. Philip appears rather stand offish towards the children and rather distant bit that was due to his upbringing. Winston Churchill firmly believed that once the mystic of the Royal Family has gone, and they are seen up close, then the allure of them dissapears. I suspect he would have hated this documentary as it goes against everything he believed the Royal family should be viewed as by the public. Nevertheless, its a wonderful historical document into the family life of the late Queen and her family.

[@RcsN505]

This documentary did do a lot of damage at the time. The Queen never allowed it to be shown ever again.

[@graceable5009]

It’s true. The Queen was seen as chosen by God and so once the view was shattered that she was living a ‘normal’ life people wanted less money to go to the family and we’re less enthused meeting them

I have a younger brother 9 years younger than me as well as two sisters. I remember when he was born my teacher marvelling that I now would have a brother to I assume play and hang out with but even back then in 1968 I could do the maths and quickly concluded that was unlikely to ever happen. I was proved right. He is just a different generation than me and we have no common interests and do or never did much together. I often envy guys who have brothers around their own age who are more in tune with each other and do so much stuff together. Its something I always have regretted and felt a little bitter about.
