Some rare details about Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s early relationship is coming to light in a new National Geographic documentary.

“I have been astonished and sometimes moved to tears by the fresh details and insights I have discovered in researching this story of family conflict,” author Robert Lacey said of his soon to be published book.

The Duke enters his 100th year on 10 June and will celebrate his birthday with video calls to the rest of the royal family as he enjoys low key celebrations with the Queen amid the pandemic this year.

“She has always had this historical perspective about life, and now she embodies history,” her biographer Robert Lacey tells PEOPLE.

In the Queen’s moving and historic broadcast last night (Sunday 5th April 2020) on the national crisis and challenge of the Coronavirus— only the fifth time that she has made such a special address to the nation — Her Majesty recalled the very first such ‘wireless’ address that she made as Princess Elizabeth.

Channel 5’s documentary on 12 March takes a look at the Queen’s first unrehearsed walkabout during her tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1954.

Writing exclusively for The Daily Beast, Robert Lacey praises Harry and Meghan’s radical moves, claiming they will help other royal “spares” in the future.

Robert visited the famous Abbey Road Studios in north west London today to watch Prince Harry record Jon Bon Jovi’s 2019 hit ‘UnBroken’ with the Invictus Choir, honouring veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
