THE WINDSORS: A ROYAL FAMILY (1994) — 3. IMAGE OF A QUEEN (DVD description) A revealing look at four generations of Windsors. Behind the pomp and pageantry of royalty is a family as compelling as it is renowned. This four-hour presentation is one of the most in-depth looks at Britain's royal family ever assembled. Spanning four generations — from the early 1900's and the reign of George V, through Diana's tragic death and a new millennium — "The Windsors: A Royal Family" is a mesmerizing retrospective highlighted by rare footage and revealing interviews with royal family members, friends, aides, historians, royal watchers, and others with intimate knowledge of the Windsors. • Explore the separation and divorce of Charles and Diana and see clips of Diana's tell-all interview on British TV. • Listen to the passionate conversations between Charles and "true love" Camilla Parker-Bowles. • See a rare 1970 interview with former King Edward VIII as he shares personal thoughts about his abdication. • Learn why the royal family adopted the name "Windsor" to mask their non-British heritage. • See how charming Prince William could be the family's brightest hope for the future. • Hear Peter Townsend talk for the first time about circumstances surrounding his dashed marriage to Princess Margaret. Go beneath the crown, behind the spectacle, and beyond the headlines to explore the majesty and mystery of a 1000-year-old monarchy.
