The long-awaited ITV documentary to mark the momentous occasion of the Queen’s 90th birthday entitled The Queen at Ninety, is set to air this Easter Sunday.
The two-hour film will include telling interviews from Queen Elizabeth’s nearest and dearest including the oh-so-charming Prince Harry, Prince William and of course, Duchess Catherine.
Watch the first exclusive look at Duchess Catherine’s royal interview in the video player below!
In her first ever interview as a royal, the mother-of-two revealed that both her and the Queen were positively “thrilled” when it came to welcoming her first daughter, Princess Charlotte into the world.
“It’s very special having a new little girl,” the brunette beauty said. “I feel very, very lucky that George has got a little sister.”
“The Queen was really thrilled that it was a little girl, and I think as soon as we came back here to Kensington she was one of our first visitors here.”
The cutest royal family portrait we ever did see! Wills and Kate pictured with their two adorable kids, George, two, and 10-month-old Charlotte.
The 34-year-old also let slip one particularly adorable detail – the special name that little Prince George has given to his great-grandmother.
“George is only two-and-a-half and he calls her ‘Gan-Gan.’”
Naturally, the 89-year-old monarch is overwhelmed with love and joy for her growing family. In her Christmas speech last year, she took a moment to mention the sentiment she shares for the new addition, Princess Charlotte.
“One of the joys of living a long life is watching one’s children, then grandchildren, then great-grandchildren, help decorate the Christmas tree,” she said fondly.
“And this year my family has a new member to join in the fun.”
Her majesty met her great-granddaughter at Kensington Palace just three days after her May birth.
Since then, she simply couldn’t help but treat both George and Charlotte with little presents every time the family pays her a visit.
“She always leaves a little gift or something in their room when we go and stay and that just shows her love for her family,” Duchess Catherine quipped.

The Queen at Ninety will tell her majesty’s royal story, from her April birth in 1926 to her 1953 coronation, along with the highlights of her reign which spans over 60 good years.
Her majesty’s 90th birthday will be marked with a weekend of national celebration to be hosted by British comedians and TV presenters, Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, known collectively as Ant & Dec.
On the celebratory event, the comedy duo said: “We are honoured to be hosting this special celebration of Her Majesty The Queen’s 90th Birthday,”
“This spectacular evening will bring together some of the best known names in the entertainment world who will perform with 900 horses and 1500 participants to mark this very special birthday.”
