Synopsis:
An intriguing examination of the tensions and conflict between the Queen Mother and Prince Philip in the build up to Princess Elizabeth's coronation in 1953.

During Queen Elizabeth II's crucial Coronation year, she faced significant tensions between Prince Philip and the Queen Mother. Philip wanted to modernize the event,
making it relevant to contemporary times, while the Queen Mother and Princess Mary opposed these changes, preferring traditional ceremonies. Caught between them,
Elizabeth navigated these conflicts while also facing Mountbatten's push to rename the royal family Windsor-Mountbatten. Ultimately, although she largely agreed
with her mother on the Coronation arrangements, Elizabeth supported Philip's decision to televise the ceremony in Westminster Abbey, setting a new precedent for media access to royal rituals.
