"Elizabeth II: Making a Monarch"
Wiser Films' two-part documentary series "Elizabeth II: Making a Monarch" debuts on Channel 4 & 4OD on Saturday 5th August. The title features never-before seen images, revealing the private world of a princess who would become the longest currently serving monarch of all time.
Over two episodes the series uncovers the triumphs and tragedies the Queen faced in her first 30 formative years, exploring the pivotal events which transformed a precocious young princess from a minor royal into Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II all through the lens of recently unearthed images. The show is distributed worldwide by BossaNova Media.
Wiser Films Co-Founder and Making a Monarch Producer Tas Brooker says: “This is a very special documentary given the outpouring of nation grief upon the passing of Queen Elizabeth in 2022. To have the opportunity to tell the story of the Queen’s early years through never-before-seen pictures from the amazing Getty archive is a real privilege.”
"Elizabeth II: Making a Monarch" is Wiser Films’ second major documentary to air on UK broadcasters in the past two months after the critically acclaimed feature documentary "Williams and Mansell: Red 5" premiered on Sky Documentaries.
