During her reign of more than 68 years Queen Elizabeth II has had 14 Prime Ministers - from Winston Churchill to Boris Johnson. The monarch and the PM is a relationship like no other; what really goes on in their weekly meeting? Who influences whom when it comes to decision making? And does the Queen have a favourite? 

Royal and political insiders reveal how the United Kingdom's head of state and head of government get on and whether the personal ever affects the professional when it comes to their partnership.

The Queen and her Prime Ministers have guided the nation through good times and bad: from conflicts and recessions to Olympic Games and national celebrations. This programme will tell the fascinating stories of how the Queen has interacted with her Prime Ministers - from her conversations with Margaret Thatcher, to when she famously spoke of her gratitude for Winston Churchill's "wise guidance during the early years of my reign", how she was photographed holding hands with Tony Blair whilst singing Auld Lang Syne and was embroiled in politics like never before with Brexit and Boris Johnson. 

After so long on the throne, and after dealing with Prime Ministers who weren't even born when she became Queen, has there been a reversal of roles in who is guiding whom?

THE ROYAL DOCUMENTARIES is a collection of documentaries providing an inside peek and several never before-seen images of the Royals, while offering a look at their lives through a lens of historical context and cultural significance. The documentaries cover a vast majority of subjects, including but not limited to William and Kate, Harry and Meghan, Princess Anne, Princess Margaret, and Princess Diana.
