In Love With Elizabeth

Synopsis
Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was the nation's favourite grandmother. But little of her childhood and early life has been documented - until now. In this unique and intimate portrait, the young Elizabeth Bowes Lyon emerges as a lively, strong willed and accomplished young woman. At 19 she had so many suitors she didn't know which way to turn. In this remarkable documentary, personal testimony is combined with rare archive film, photographs and letters to create a unique insight into an extraordinary woman who followed her heart, married a Prince and, by an unexpected twist of fate, became Queen.



Press Comments
"This beautifully assembled scrapbook of pre-war memories is a delight." (Daily Mail)

"An affectionate and powerfully nostalgic account of the childhood and early adult life of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother." (Daily Telegraph)
