Queen Elizabeth II's unseen home videos will be shared in Platinum Jubilee documentary

LONDON  – Previously unseen home movies from Queen Elizabeth II's personal archive – including footage capturing the monarch as a young mother and her beaming at her engagement ring – will be shown in a new documentary, the BBC said Sunday.

The queen granted the broadcaster unprecedented access to hundreds of home movies shot by her, her parents and her late husband Prince Philip, as part of celebrations for her upcoming Platinum Jubilee, honoring her 70 years on the throne.

The videos record the queen’s life from when she was a baby in a pram to her coronation in 1953.
