The second of three films specially produced by the BBC as a background to the Coronation tells the story of the Queen's life from the time of her parents' Coronation to the eve of her own.
The film includes interviews with Lord Elton, Horace Smith (who taught the young Princesses to ride), and Norman Hartnell, the Queen's dressmaker. The latter half of the film contains short excerpts from the Royal Tour of South Africa in 1947 and the more recent visit of Princess Elizabeth, as she then was and the Duke of Edinburgh, to Canada.
