I don’t get to watch very many new documentaries on the Royal Family, so this was really nice. Her first Annus Horribilis was in 1992… so the title is a play on that. I learned, that like Queen Victoria, she has written in her diary every day for 70 years. I bet there are a lot of historians who would love to get their hands on that.
