I'm baffled. Are there any links to audio from her earlier speeches? All I find are transcripts (besides the last Christmas), and links to scholarly texts. It seems bizarre that the BBC doesn't link to their own content archives here.
- BitwiseFool 4y agoI wouldn't be surprised if there were some arcane 'crown copyright' rules involved. But given that several episodes of Doctor Who have been lost by the BBC, it also wouldn't surprise me if such recordings of The Queen have likewise been lost.

At the time, she was still a princess, but already determined to make a pledge to her people: "I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service."

- elnr 4y agoBBC's video archive, unless it is extremely popular, is almost certainly not going to be avaliable after a few years. Shows published on their streaming platform iPlayer are typically only avaliable for a few months. The BBC archives tend to only be used for creating new or remastering old content rather than for republication in their original form. I agree, it's bizarre.
