Footage posted on social media appeared to show Graham Smith, the chief executive of the group, being arrested by police alongside five other demonstrators wearing T-shirts that read "Not My King." Lise Romanoff, CEO/Managing Director of Vision Films shares, "This is an in-depth and complete look at the various facets of King Charles' life many may not know as he takes the throne." The 90-minute film, which will be released at Christmas, will offer a “unique perspective” on what it describes as “the inner workings behind a defining moment” that marked a new era in the history of the monarchy. Inside Westminster Abbey, aristocrats, celebrities and leaders from a variety of Britain's political parties arrived ahead of the ceremony. The congregation included singers such as Lionel Richie and Katy Perry, who will perform at a concert organized to celebrate the coronation this weekend.

It promises unrivalled insights from those directly involved as well as “moments of great poignancy and humour”. ‘Remarkable time in history’ Simon Young, BBC Head of History, Factual Commissioning, says: “At the heart of this story is a man who is taking on the job that has always awaited him. Everyone wants to know how he takes on that challenge. This film captures a behind the scenes view of the King and his coronation the like of which has never been seen before." Kate Phillips, the director of unscripted for the BBC, said that it had been “a real privilege” to be given such “extraordinary behind-the-scenes access” to the first months of the King’s reign. Decca has a longstanding and proud association with the British Royal family and we are delighted to be once again making recorded music history together.”Her previous work includes the wedding of the then-Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in 2011 and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in 2018. Kate Phillips, BBC Director of Unscripted, says: “It’s a real privilege to be given such extraordinary behind the scenes access to the first year of King Charles’ reign. It is a remarkable time in history and this documentary will offer a unique insight into King Charles and Queen Camilla, and the preparation and planning leading to their coronation - a momentous ceremony watched by millions around the world.” The BBC has been granted exclusive access to such “landmark moments” to tell the story of the past 12 months “from the inside looking out”. After the death of Queen Elizabeth II, The King had to lead his family and the country in mourning. At the same time, he had to embrace his destiny on the most famous throne in the world. A BBC documentary charting the first year of the King’s reign will include unseen footage of Coronation rehearsals and interviews with members of the Royal family.

The coronation album will be produced by world-renowned classical record producer, Anna Barry, who has produced over 500 recordings of distinction over 35 years.Tom Lewis and Laura Monks, co-presidents of Decca Records, said: “Coronation services have been taking place since the 11th century. Everyone wants to know how he takes on that challenge. This film captures a behind-the-scenes view of the King and his Coronation the like of which has never been seen before.” Although Charles is already King, there must be a Coronation to officially mark the beginning of his reign. Director Tara Pirnia further comments, "Yes, we wanted to bring him out of the shadow of his mother and illustrate his lifelong dedication to making this a modern monarchy that will last through the ages."
