At the heart of this story Philip and Elizabeth formed an incredibly strong marriage that would withstand the many challenges that would test them. On their golden wedding anniversary in 1997, the Queen paid a touching tribute to her husband, saying, "He has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years.". This insightful documentary contains rare and personal footage of the royal couple, the royal wedding and many other key events of their time.br/REIGN SUPREMEbr/Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip's lives have been a journey like no other.

This programme captures many of those key moments that shaped both of their lives.
