      Seán Day-Lewis Daily Telegraph (UK) Technically the film is a considerable achievement. It is throughout a “take one” work lighting, had to be done at news pace, and Peter Bartlett worked mainly with a hand-held camera. Yet the result is relaxed and opulent. Dec 28, 2023 Full Review Peter Preston Guardian Mission accomplished: they're a nice lot. So do they truly need the flunkeys and the yachts and the myriad retreats? Dec 28, 2023 Full Review Times (UK) Staff Times (UK) There must be a great many people who have a far clearer picture now than they ever had before of what type of person, with what type of family, now reigns in Britain. Dec 28, 2023 Full Review George Melly Observer (UK) Royal Family does give the impression of a lavish back-stage musical. Richard Cawston's brilliant film is perfectly attuned to its age; Antony Jay's commentary a very subtle piece of work. Dec 28, 2023 Full Review Ivor Jay Birmingham Mail If this programme proved anything at all it was that the Queen has the prettiest and readiest of laughs yet heard on television. Made you wistfully wish that she would change her stuffy speechwriters. Dec 28, 2023 Full Review Mary Malone Daily Mirror (UK) It's tough when you're always on parade. But... for all their flunkeys and palaces, jewels and crowns, they are shown to be trained professionals doing an honest job and enjoying it. Dec 28, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
