Queen Elizabeth II made major change in parental approach after Andrew and Edward

Elizabeth II has had to abide by vigorous royal protocol whenever she was spotted in public with her kids but rare footage shows that she acted very differently behind closed doors.

Unposed video footage shows the Queen as a loving parent when the eyes of the public were not upon her at official events. Traditionally seen as a private mother, the never-before-seen home videos have been digitised for an ITV documentary ‘The Queen Unseen.
