At Home With The Windsors
In 1969 thousands sat glued to their television screens as a documentary lifted the lid on the Royal Family for the first time.
Viewers around the world were enthralled by 'Royal Family', which took a behind-the-scenes look at the Windsors.
BBC stills photographer Joan Williams was offered an even more intimate glimpse than most into this hithero unseen world.
As the only photographer attached to the documentary team she produced a candid collection of images that revealed the Royal Family in a whole new light.
When word first got out about the documentary being filmed, newspapers across the country clamoured to get their photographers involved.
However, the decision was made to invite just one - and Joan had her work on children's TV show Blue Peter to thank for being chosen.
She comments: "The year before I'd photographed the royal children when they came into the Blue Peter studio to meet the presenters and animals.
"Afterwards, the photos were sent to the palace by the producer of the program.
"Then the following year when they were making the Royal Family they didn't have a stills photographer with them.
"They'd been filming for four months when the whole of Fleet Street heard and they all wanted to send in their photographers.
"Of course that wasn't possible because the production and palace wanted control.
"The palace remembered my stills of the children and it was suggested that I join them".
Without a second to feel any nerves, Joan received the phone call offering her the job - and started the very next day.
"I was thrown in the deep end, but you take it in your stride because it was just another assignment - though admittedly a fantastic one.
"I didn't find it stressful at all. I just thought I was very privileged".

Exclusive Jubilee Special: Queen of Diamonds
A magazine has laid bare its unique relationship with the Queen as she approaches her 2012 Diamond Jubilee.
In a special edition of Reader's Digest, the magazine has drawn from its archives and uncovered their fascinating and unique relationship with the Queen.
The favoured publication reveals their personal letter from the Queen, which thanks them for "responsible and entertaining journalism".
Highlights also include two portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, commissioned by the Reader's Digest, known as "Corgi and Bess" painted by Michael Leonard for her 60th birthday and the other a double portrait with the Duke of Edinburgh painted by Tai-Shan Schierenberg to celebrate the couple's Golden Wedding anniversary.
Presenting her as a monarch and a mother extracts from the Reader's Digest October 1957 article: 'Elizabeth II: The Commonwealth's Queen' gives a sense of quiet dedication to her regal duties while on the other hand bringing up four children.
Unlike most 20-something parents; Her Majesty was also saddled with advising Cabinet and maintaining international relations when her children were mere toddlers. The Reader's Digest endeavoured to find out how she coped.
"Everyone likes to see their children before they go to bed," the Reader's Digest royal correspondent pointed out in February 1977. "But not everyone has had to ask the Prime Minister to delay coming round for half an hour or so to do so."
When Charles and Anne were small, the young Queen scheduled in a slot of time after breakfast, described by our royal correspondent in October 1957 as "a high spot with which nothing was allowed to interfere". She then enj...
