THE QUEEN’S NOT AMUSED Infamous royal do co leaked
It was a case of now you see it, now you don’t. For 48 whole hours, a fly-on-the-wall documentary about the royal family was available to view on YouTube, despite having been banned almost 50 years ago by the Queen.
It hasn’t been revealed who leaked it or how they obtained the 1969 programme, called Royal Family. But what is known is that a few thousand people managed to watch it before royal aides cottoned on and swiftly had it pulled.
A Buckingham Palace source is quoted as saying, “It should not be on YouTube and if it does appear, we would expect it to be taken down.”
The BBC declined to comment about how the film, which has been locked away in the archives since 1972, saw the light of day.
