Former Royal Correspondent Shares Her "Treasured," "Off-Guard" Moments With "Shy" Queen Elizabeth II

Queen Elizabeth and members of the royal family on the palace balcony during the Platinum Jubilee.

Former Royal Correspondent Jennie Bond worked for the BBC for 14 years, throughout some of the most tumultuous events in Queen Elizabeth II’s historic reign. From 1989 to 2003, Bond worked closely with the royal household to deliver news to the British public, and those watching around the world. Despite her close contact with The Queen, Bond describes the historical and cultural icon as “an enigma.”
