This cringeworthy attempt at PR was made by William Heseltine, then royal Press Secretary, and the television producer John Brabourne (son-in-law of Lord Louis Mountbatten), who both believed that showing the family's day-to-day life on TV would help to revive public interest in an institution widely seen, in the Swinging Sixties, as out of touch and irrelevant. It backfired in spectacular fashion, prompting the Queen (or the Palace) to ban it in her Silver Jubilee year (1977). In the 1990s the Beeb (BBC) allowed private viewings of the documentary, with permission from the Palace, at £35 a time. Since 2011 snippets were made available online, and in 2021 the full film was leaked and uploaded to YouTube. It was later taken off YouTube due to a copyright claim, after the Beeb sought to have it removed. It was later reuploaded by several channels and has remained in the public domain. And here it is again, as an important reminder that the mystique of the monarchy should have been left undisturbed.
