Ko je njen oče Jurij V. umrl, je prestol 6. februarja leta 1952 zasedla Elizabeta II. Šele več kot leto dni pozneje, 2. junija 1953, se je nato odvilo slovesno kronanje v Westminstrski opatiji z 8000 gosti. Milijoni ljudi so napolnili ulice in sledili dogodku na televizijskih ekranih. Britanska kraljica le redko daje intervjuje, je pa ob 65-letnici vladanja osvetlila kar nekaj dogodkov iz časa svojega vladanja, zlasti s kronanja. Med drugim je v dokumentarnem filmu spregovorila o tem, kako neudobna je krona ter o »grozni« vožnji v pozlačeni kočiji do opatije.

Baddiel and Skinner unplanned was a free-form talk show hosted by British comedians/personalities David Baddiel and Frank Skinner and produced by Avalon Television. Its concept was developed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and had a run in the West End at the Shaftesbury Theatre in 2001. The show features the two hosts sitting on a couch on-stage and responding to questions from the audience — at times rather seriously, but usually with bizarre digressions into satirical comedy. An audience member is chosen as "Secretary" and has the job of keeping a note of the topics covered on a white board. In practice, the personality of the secretary will also prompt many jokes — usually at his or her expense. At the end of the show, Skinner asks either the secretary or the audience to choose between two song books, and to pick a page number between 1 and 20. This process determines which song is performed by the duo, sung by Skinner with Baddiel accompanying him on piano. Topics of discussion are wholly mandated by the audience and have ranged from discussions of the war against Iraq and other political events to comments on the latest plot twists of popular soap operas and the Atkins diet. Skinner's Catholicism and Baddiel's Jewish faith are also occasional targets of humour.
