(Jennings also helmed 2017&#8217;s <i>Diana: In Her Own Words<\/i>, airing before this at 7\/6c.) Here are three intriguing topics.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Wedding_Jitters\"><\/span>1. <b>Wedding Jitters<br \/><\/br><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Not from Elizabeth, who was just 13 when she met the future Prince Philip at Dartmouth Naval College. &#8220;I think the princess fell headlong in love with him at that moment,&#8221; says Philip&#8217;s cousin Lady Pamela Hicks, who describes the cadet as an &#8220;absolute Greek god.&#8221; But King George VI and then-queen Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon made her wait till she was 21 to get engaged. &#8220;What parent wouldn&#8217;t be anxious about a daughter who wants to marry the very first man she&#8217;s fallen in love with?&#8221; explains royal historian Robert Lacey. As for the groom&#8217;s nerves, a friend who attended his bachelor party before the 1947 wedding recalls, &#8220;His face was white. This man just began to realize what he was getting into.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Aberfan\"><\/span>2. <b>Aberfan<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After the 1966 tragedy in this Welsh town, where an avalanche of mining sludge killed 28 adults and 116 children, &#8220;there was much turmoil about whether or not the Queen should visit,&#8221; Jennings says. (She didn&#8217;t want to detract from rescue efforts but came eight days later \u2014 one of the few regrets of her reign, notes Gyles Brandreth, who knows Philip and wrote a book on the couple.) Princess Margaret&#8217;s husband, Lord Snowdon, did visit right away \u2014 and explains why in a moving, never-before-heard clip. <span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_947075\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"being the queen nat geo\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-947075\" height=\"570\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/being-the-queen-826x570.jpg\"  width=\"826\"><\/img><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-947075\">(Credit: Adrian Dennis\/AP\/REX\/Shutterstock)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Dianas_Death\"><\/span><b>3.

Intimates bristle at the public&#8217;s response: Lady Angela Oswald, a lady-in-waiting to the Queen Mother, says with disbelief, &#8220;She was castigated for not leaving [the boys] and coming to London to mourn in the streets with people who&#8217;d never even met the princess.&#8221; Raised to put duty first, she finally prioritized family. Notes Jennings: &#8220;Because she is so iconic, it&#8217;s easy to forget that she is a grandmother.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b><em>Being the Queen<\/em>, Monday, August 31, <\/b><b>9\/8c, National Geographic<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Media category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Movies<\/a> or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/945961\/being-the-queen-national-geographic-tom-jennings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#&#8217;Being the Queen&#8217;: 3 Things to Know About Nat Geo&#8217;s Royal Special&#8221; PA Images via Getty Images When it comes to Queen Elizabeth II, &#8220;Our curiosity is never quite satiated,&#8221; says Being the Queen director Tom Jennings.
