As part of her 80th birthday year, Queen Elizabeth II granted documentary filmmakers an unprecedented and exclusive look behind the "velvet curtain" that surrounds the British monarchy, known to those in the inner circle as "the family firm." Drawn from that footage, this miniseries offers a refreshingly candid and insightful new perspective on the massive personal and political machinery required to keep the Empire humming.
