As Queen Elizabeth II formally commemorates her Platinum Jubilee – marking 70 years on the throne – we thought it would only be right to celebrate the historic occasion with a selection of the most entertaining royally-inclined TV series and films.
Whilst broadcast TV has a tonne of royal scheduling planned – from Kirsty Young hosting the BBC’s Platinum Jubilee coverage to the National Lottery’s Big Jubilee Street Party on ITV – if your own weekend schedule is looking rather packed, here are the shows and movies you can dive into on demand whenever suits you best.
- To celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Radio Times is releasing a 116-page commemorative edition, featuring covers, articles and illustrations from our archive – buy Radio Times: Her Majesty The Queen for £9.99 at Radio Times Shop.
So whether you are more in the mood for a light-hearted royal comedy or to learn a few facts about the famous family in a biopic, our list of top choices should have you covered!
