In the hour-long documentary, Queen Elizabeth II speaks candidly to Alastair Bruce of Crionaich, royal commentator for Sky News, about her experience of the coronation and some of the Crown Jewels used in the ceremony.[4] The Queen had never been interviewed on camera, and the exchange, which often seemed like an interview, was officially described as a "conversation".[5]
