Program: It is 1992, and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is pondering how to handle turmoil in the royal family in the wake of some scandalous divorces and finger-wagging media reports. As she reflects on her struggles, she looks back on her life, from her happy childhood through the abdication of her uncle, her marriage to a navy officer named Philip, her coronation, and her ongoing walk to balance her roles as queen and mother. In this historical portrayal by scholar and actress Leslie Goddard, Ph.D., you'll get to know the woman behind the images, her sense of humor and the savvy intelligence with which she meets her demanding obligations. Note: This program is a historical portrayal, not a lecture.
