When the invite first came through inviting me to Buckingham Palace, I feared the worst. Obviously, I thought, the palace was angry at the recent controversy caused by my panel on The Crown or they’d discovered my teenage love of the Sex Pistols and were planning to send me to the Tower.
However, it turned out I had been invited to watch a documentary about the Queen’s latest environmental campaign including a landmark interview between Her Royal Majesty and Planet Earth’s David Attenborough in the palace gardens.
The ITV documentary, The Queen’s Green Planet, which is produced by ITN Productions, features a conversation between “two of the most consummate professionals on the planet” discussing the 1,400 trees planted in the Buckingham Palace gardens as well as the monarch’s new initiative to create a vast network of native forests across Britain and the Commonwealth – the Queen’s Commonwealth Canopy.
