Movie Info Sheet
Modernising Monarchy examines how the British monarchy has evolved alongside major technological changes over the past century. Key moments include Alan Turing’s groundbreaking work in artificial intelligence, which was later acknowledged by the monarchy with a posthumous pardon. Space exploration, marked by Yuri Gagarin’s first flight and the Apollo XI mission, also saw the royal family acknowledge humanity’s achievements in these fields. The monarchy’s adaptation to technological progress is most evident in its engagement with media, from Queen Elizabeth II’s first televised Christmas speech in 1957 to the royal family’s active presence on social media today. The monarchy has successfully navigated the digital age while preserving its historical significance.
