The Queen has opened up about “intimate” moments with her family in a 75-minute long film about her life to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee.
In the film, she can be heard saying: “Cameras have always been part of our lives.
“I think there’s a difference to watching a home movie when you know who it is on the other side of the lens, holding the camera.
“It adds to the sense of intimacy.
“Like many families, my parents wanted to keep a record of our precious moments together.
“And when it was our turn with our own family, we did the same.
“I always enjoyed capturing family moments.
“Private photos can often show the fun behind the formality.
“I expect just about every family has a collection of photographs or films that were once regularly looked at to recall precious moments but which, over time, are replaced by newer images and more recent memories.
“You always hope that future generations will find them interesting, and perhaps be surprised that you too were young once.”
