Queen Elizabeth II was the most photographed person ever to have lived. Elizabeth: A Life Through the Lens explores her relationship with the camera, using rarely seen film and photographs to chart how her image changed through seven decades. The film is structured chronologically: the private princess who was never meant to be Queen until fate intervened; ascending to the throne in the first ever televised coronation; being snapped on relentless tours of the commonwealth; and, finally, adapting to the demands of a global audience in the age of mass media. Told through interviews with key royal commentators and historians, Elizabeth: A Life Through the Lens offers new insights. It is a different type of obituary of this most incredible, and adored, global figure.
