Royal documentaries are frequently on the tele.
I'm not suggesting they're ho-hum. Well, maybe, for the not-so-ardent royal watchers that is.
This eight-part series, Elizabeth,' currently screening on Prime is exceptional in some of its emotive footage shows the Queen not entirely adhering to that British Royal stiff upper lip.
I was very moved by footage of the Welsh Aberfan disaster, a catastrophic collapse of a colliery tip on October 21, 1966, where weeks of heavy rain meant a build-up of water had caused it to suddenly slide downhill as a slurry. It engulfed a local school killing 116 children and 28 adults.
The disaster seared the psyche of everyone throughout Britain not least of all Queen Elizabeth who we were told struggled with whether she should go directly to Aberfan or not.
