The Queen as we've never seen her before prepares for a historic Platinum Jubilee celebration

ABC  

The constant tension between public and private royal life, and more specifically exactly how much the public is entitled to know about the family's personal world behind palace gates, is something the monarchy grapples with from cradle to grave. While the commentary is a clever tapestry from 60 of Her Majesty's speeches, an introduction recorded by the Queen a few weeks ago sets a genuinely warm and intimate tone to kick off what will be the first, and in all likelihood, last Platinum Jubilee celebration for a British monarch. But if her recent appearances at the Royal Windsor Horse Show, the opening of the new Elizabeth Line — the latest addition to London's tube network — and beetling around the Chelsea Flower Show in a golf buggy are anything to go by, we are likely to see the Queen a great deal. Queen Elizabeth — who now uses a walking stick to get around — arrives for the A Gallop Through History Platinum Jubilee celebration at the Royal Windsor Horse Show in May. For the public, the party at the Palace on Saturday promises to be a night to remember and will feature tributes from the Queen's heirs — Prince Charles and Prince William — although it is expected Her Majesty will watch the event on the live TV broadcast from home.
