According to a report by People, Princess Anne, the second child of Queen Elizabeth ll and her only daughter revealed that she never liked the idea of the Royal Family film. She always thought of it as a rotten idea. She stated that the attention had already been brought on, ever since they were children and the last thing she needed was greater access to their lives. 

Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the release of the documentary on Youtube. The film was made after the royals granted the BBC unique access to film their everyday lives. The family was increasingly seen as being out of touch with regular society in the 1960s, and the program was considered an attempt to regain relevance.
