Royal Family Ratings & Reviews
Detroit Free Press
Bettelou Peterson
For Americans, it was a fine 90 minutes of TV. And if it does seem strange that the Queen didn't know if she'd worn that gigantic ruby necklace, well, that's how it is when you're Queen.
New York Daily News
Ben Gross
Filmed over a period of one year, it came over as a masterpiece of the cinema verite technique. Also it was a public relations triumph in that, via a series of endearing vignettes, it humanized Queen Elizabeth II and her kin.
San Francisco Examiner
Dwight Newton
The cinema verite (candid camera) technique was vastly effective. Good show. It could serve as a model for studies on such other heads of state as Nixon here, Kosygin in Russia, Trudeau in Canada.
New York Times
Jack Gould
The real achievement of Royal Family, in its best moments, is to stress the matter of family rather than royalty... One sees an identifiable family unit reflecting a diversity of personality and interests. The human equation comes through.
Chicago Tribune
Clarence Petersen
[The Royals] appear to be not so awfully formal when they're alone together, altho you might say that the duties, the obligations, and the traditions of the centuries-old family business have imposed a certain reserve.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Harry Harris
It was the homey, intimate glimpses of the Queen as wife and mother, with her husband their four children, which gave the program its special distinction, interest and charm.
Boston Globe
Percy Shain
Most of the conversation was pretty trivial and -- for American ears -- very difficult to understand. It made for boring stretches in which the activities picture would have been pretty commonplace if anyone but Britain's ruling family had been involved.
Miami Herald
Jack Anderson
[The] family accepted the intrusion with good grace. Behind the official facade which has always screened the family's inner life from view, the monarch and her husband and children, it turns out, are given to the same trivial enjoyments we commoners are.
Los Angeles Times
Cecil Smith
This 90-minute backstairs look at a queen and her family will be less sensational here; we're used to intimate glimpses of the mighty. Nonetheless, it has an undeniable fascination.
