Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work
 In the year of her 80th birthday, Queen
Elizabeth II granted the filmmakers of
Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work an exclusive look
inside the modern British monarchy. In this intimate series,
viewers join Queen Elizabeth II and the rest of Britain’s
most famous family as they travel abroad, work at the
palace, and meet people from all walks of life.
The programs follow the queen as she
visits the first permanent British settlement in the U.S.
and spends time with President Bush at the White House. The
cameras roll as she visits the newly democratic republic of
Estonia—where no British monarch has set foot before.
Back in England, the series goes inside
Buckingham Palace for exclusive interviews with members of
the royal family, preparations for elaborate formal
occasions, and a behind-the-scenes look at the royal
kitchens, royal wine cellar and royal car fleet, and the
jobs of footmen, ladies in waiting, the yeoman guard and the
crown jeweler.
Airing Wednesdays, Nov. 12, 19, and 26
from 7-9 p.m., and again from 9-11 p.m.,
Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work offers a glimpse
behind the velvet curtain to reveal what life is really like
as a member of the family firm.
