- Elizabeth: A Portrait in Parts. Directed by the veteran British director Roger Michell – the man behind Notting Hill – in what was to be his last film, this feature-length documentary was released earlier this year in honour of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
- Elizabeth: The Unseen Queen. Narrated by the Queen herself, this BBC documentary is made up of a series of remarkable never-before-seen home movies filmed by members of the Royal Family as well as the late monarch.
- The Queen’s Coronation in Colour. The Queen’s coronation in 1953 was the first ever national television event, and while it originally aired in black and white, it has been cleverly remastered for this film to appear in glorious technicolour.
- Elizabeth at 90: A Family Tribute. Released by the BBC in 2016 to mark the Queen’s 90th birthday, this deeply personal documentary features the late monarch with her children and grandchildren as they sit together in Buckingham Palace to watch archival footage together.

- Elizabeth: The Unseen Queen. BBC iPlayer. Another documentary commissioned for the Queen’s 70th anniversary as monarch earlier this year, The Unseen Queen features never-before-seen home footage of the Windsors behind closed doors.
- Elizabeth R. BBC iPlayer. While this documentary was first broadcast on BBC Two in 1992, it remains a fascinating watch. It follows the Queen over one year of her reign, with unprecedented access to Queen Elizabeth II and the role she plays away from the public eye.
- Her Majesty the Queen. All 4. Presented by Jon Snow, this retrospective documentary is a matter-of-fact history of the Queen’s 70-year reign. While the usual moments are remembered, Snow also recounts his own memories of meeting the Queen, the first instance of which happened when his father invited her to visit the school where he was headmaster.
