Being the Queen is a biographical documentary about Britain's longest-serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.

When she was a child, no one believed young Princess Elizabeth would ever become the queen of England. She went on to become the longest-reigning monarch in the world.

Queen Elizabeth II saw seen scandal and tragedy, and felt the weight of the crown in her seven turbulent decades on the throne.

Being the Queen is a 2020 film by Tom Jennings, a director and producer whose career has been largely focused on documentaries and television covering historical events and iconic individuals — from the Vietnamese revolution to the lives of the royal family.

This biographical documentary chronicles the life of Elizabeth II, who held the throne of one of the world's great empires from 1952.

Using interviews with personal attendants to the queen and footage of the royal family, Jennings paints a brutally honest picture of seven decades on the throne from the queen's point of view.
