A source close to the 91-year-old monarch revealed she was “delighted” with the BBC show, in which she shared memories of her Coronation.

“She absolutely loved the documentary and was very pleased with how it turned out,” said a royal insider.

“She phoned the programme-makers to express her delight. She thought it was a great success.”

The Coronation featured the first TV interview with the Queen, in which she discussed what it was like having the St Edward’s Crown placed on her head as a 27-year-old in 1953.
