Royal Family

About This Movie

So, 'Royal Family' from 1969 is really something else. It’s like stepping behind the velvet ropes of the British monarchy, capturing the mundane and the majestic all in one breath. The pacing is quite leisurely, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of royal life - the quiet moments, the playful interactions, and even the more formal occasions. There's a raw honesty in how it presents the family, stripping away some of the pomp without losing the grandeur. You get to see them in their natural habitat, which is a treat for anyone interested in royal history. It’s a fascinating blend of documentary and reality TV long before those terms were even popularized.

This documentary holds a unique place in collector circles, often sought after for its rare glimpse into royal life. Originally broadcast as a TV movie, its format has led to various releases, making some editions more collectible than others. The scarcity of physical copies, especially those in good condition, adds to the intrigue for collectors, as many appreciate not just the content but the historical context it represents.
