THE QUEEN'S DIAMOND JUBILEE

THE QUEENS DIAMOND JUBILEE

http://www.thediamondjubilee.org

The Queen was born Princess Elizabeth in 1926,
the elder daughter of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.
At the time it was not expected that her father would
become King, or that she would become Queen.

This reads on the front page of the Queens Offical
Diamond Jubilee Website and shows a picture or the timeline.

The Queen has reigned through six decades of
enormous social change and development, view
an illustrated history of her reign on our timeline.

Oddly enough she included the Beatles, Elvis Presley
and Michael Jackson in her timeline. (See collage)

Interview policy
Information for members of the media wishing to submit a
request to interview a member of the Royal Family

Interviews with members of the Royal Family for press
or broadcast media are relatively rare. However, due
consideration is given to all requests by bona fide organisations
for interviews with members of the Royal Family to talk about
their work and related issues.

Requests for interviews must be submitted in written form
to Buckingham Palace Press Office with a detailed explanation
of the reason for the interview, its intended focus and areas of
questioning, the proposed interviewer and any other
supporting information such as recording deadline.

Royal diaries are booked weeks, if not months in advance,
so at least three weeks' notice should be given.

Some members of the Royal Family will give written
interviews, or write occasional articles under their own name.

The Queen does not give interviews or write articles.
