On a glorious summer's day, I've
been invited to Buckingham Palace

to walk with the Queen in her garden
and talk about her love of nature

and whatever else takes our fancy.

They're enormous pips.
Yes. (LAUGHS)

It's a little-known fact

that Her Majesty loves trees.

She's planted them in the palace
garden for all her children.

Now you're going to amaze me.

Prince Andrew.

Throughout her remarkable reign,

she's planted thousands
of trees all over the world.

Now she's taking her love
of nature to a whole new level.

It's called the Queen's Canopy,
which is rather nice.

Well, indeed so.

The dream is to create a global
network of protected forests

by getting people across Britain
and from all 52 countries

of the Commonwealth planting trees
and dedicating forests in her name.

Some of them are
very small at the moment.

But they'll grow, I think.

It's a huge idea and the Queen
is personally involved

in encouraging many
Commonwealth leaders to sign up.

This is the certificate for you
to prove that you're going to do it.

Prince William, the Duchess
of Cambridge and Prince Harry

are all involved, following her lead.

I think I'm closing in on my
half-century of trees planted.

But I reckon the Queen
is up in the thousands.

And film star Angelina Jolie
is among the many partners

joining in across the Commonwealth,
getting involved with her family.

When you sit up at night in a tent
with your kids and they say,

"Why does the Queen of England care
about planting trees in Africa?"

"She's just this really lovely lady
who really cares about the future

"and she wants your
grandkids and her grandkids

"to be able to be running
around enjoying nature.

"She thinks that matters
and I agree with her."

This is the story of
the Queen's unique vision,

her genuine love of nature
and her passion for trees

in all shapes and sizes.

That one we won't look at.

It doesn't seem
to be doing very well.

(LAUGHS)

Are you sure that's
meant to be like that?

Somebody sat on it,
I think, at a garden party.

For Subtitling Services, contatct:
waqas.zahoor89@gmail.com

It's fine, it's so bright.

It is. A really magnificent
day to start our walk.

We begin our walk under a pair of
magnificent London plane trees,

planted by the Queen's
great-great-grandparents

Victoria and Albert.

These trees and really valuable
trees. They were planted

by the Prince Consort and Queen
Victoria, which is quite interesting

because they're very
valuable to us as well now.

They do exactly
the right protection racket.

Do you know who planted which?

We don't know...
We don't know who planted which

but they're both... They're
wonderful trees. ..the same date.

They are London's great trees,
aren't they, really? Yes.

Sometimes we get
crows' nests up here.

We have to get people
to remove them... Yes.

..because it's not nice
to have them outside your window.

I think they're the most
magical trees, really,

just because of the way the
branches are so noble and broad,

one really wants to climb them.

Even Her Majesty has clambered up
a few trees in her time.

Yes, I've never thought
of climbing a plane tree. (LAUGHS)

Fir trees you can climb
but these you've got...

Oh, I think, once you get up there,

you see, that would be lovely.

It's amazing watching the people
who clear the branches.

The arboriculturalists
or whatever they call them. Yes.

Spread out on ropes
and go right up to the top. Yes.

Makes one feel quite ill.

The Queen's love of trees
goes back to her early childhood.

But the tradition of planting
trees at Buckingham Palace

goes back even further.

Now then, that's a mulberry.

In the early 1600s, King James I

planted mulberry trees here
as food for silkworms.

But there was a problem.

They chose the wrong variety

and so the silkworms
didn't produce anything,

which was a great disappointment
for him, I believe. Well...

I think he thought it was
going to be rather good. Yes.

But it turned out
to be the wrong one.

Undeterred, the Queen, like her
great-great-grandmother Victoria,

is continuing the tradition of
planting family trees in the garden.

There's an oak for her son
Prince Charles,

her daughter Princess Anne,

and two for her youngest sons
Princes Andrew and Edward.

Where are these two trees?

There they are.

At the back somewhere.
Shall I go and look? Please do.

(LAUGHS)

Now you're going to amaze me.

Prince Andrew.

Oh!

It's growing quite well.

There's another one
there with a plaque.

Planted in 1969.

That one?
That's what it says, yes.

And you said...
1969, yes.

You said that was Andrew.

They can't both be.

No, that's Andrew. Dear, oh, dear.

Edward.

That's about right
for age-wise, I should think.

(LAUGHS) That's Edward.
Yeah. Yeah.

Well, I mean, Andrew's older than
Edward. Yes. So it looks right.

They're looking very green,
rather spectacularly so.

Unexpectedly so.
We've done quite well.

You've done extremely well.

The Queen is now taking
the idea of planting trees

for future generations
to a whole new level

with her project to create a global
network of protected forests.

Nowadays, Her Majesty
doesn't travel abroad,

so she's sending her grandson the
Duke of Cambridge and his family

5,000 miles across the world to
receive one of the first dedications

to the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy.

And it's a big one,

over 15 million acres
of the Great Bear Rainforest

off the west coast of Canada,

with more trees than all of
Britain's forests put together.

In the small rainforest
town of Bella Bella,

where William and Catherine
are due to arrive,

the weather forecast
is not looking optimistic.

You can tell with the direction of
the wind the weather that's coming.

So, what's your prediction
for tomorrow? It's gonna rain.

It's gonna rain.
But, in one way, I hope it pours

because, you know what,
they want a real deal

and experience the
Great Bear Rainforest, it pours.

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

Bella Bella Airport,
where the royal plane

is due to touchdown
in spite of the weather.

(DRUMMING AND CHANTING)

Out here, they call this
Bella Bella sunshine.

(DRUMMING AND CHANTING)

The Queen's influence still reaches
the far corners of the world.

Now, even in her 90s, she's looking
to the future of the Commonwealth.

(CHANTING AND DRUMMING)

The Queen's Canopy project
is about the people of the forest

as much as the trees themselves
and William and Catherine

have come here to meet them.
(CHEERING)

People like Heiltsuk
chief Harvey Humchitt,

also known as
Eagle Nose - Great River.

Being part of the Queen's Canopy

is important for
the Heiltsuk people.

Our ancestors are still here.

They're part of our forests.

When you go into the forest,

you feel the power
and the strength of the trees

and we know that they have
been a part of that all along.

Her Majesty has asked me
to convey her sincere thanks

to the Government
of British Columbia and
the federal Government of Canada

The Commonwealth has
at its heart always been about

the values that bind its people.
The establishment of the Canopy

is a loud and unambiguous
statement that the citizens

of all Commonwealth countries
believe that nature

is fundamental
to the health of our societies.

When we protect our rivers,
oceans, atmospheres

or, like today, our forests,

we are telling our children
that their future prosperity

cannot be disconnected from
the health of the natural world.

Her Majesty is immensely grateful
to you and the people of Canada...

..for the leadership you have shown
in making this contribution.

(THEY CHANT) I have no doubt
that other Commonwealth nations

will be inspired by what
you have achieved here.

(APPLAUSE)

That's got a plaque. That's
a big chestnut with a plaque.

That must've been
planted by somebody.

That was planted by Prince Albert,
I think. Really? Yes.

Like Harvey in the rainforest,
the Queen can also trace

her ancestry through the trees
at Buckingham Palace.

So, in that case,
it's a hundred and...

Something. ..something years old.
Yes, it is, yes.

It's a magnificent tree.

(BIRDSONG)

And the conkers
are just beginning to come.

Yes, the dogs hate them.

Why would they?
Well, they're very prickly.

Really? Oh, yes. But don't they
like the nice shiny chestnuts?

Not really. Don't they? No.
I find them handsome, conkers.

Yes, they are, I suppose, yes.
See how prickly they are?

They're not really yet.

Hmm! Conkers!

Wasn't it recently that somebody
tried to stop children

playing conkers? Because of health
and safety? Health and safety.

No, really? Yes.
Soon they'll stop people breathing.

(LAUGHS)

It seems to be common now,
this type of thing, isn't it?

On a balmy afternoon in June,

the Queen is showing me around her
private gardens at Buckingham Palace.

But, even here,
we can't entirely escape

the outside world.
(HELICOPTER)

Why do they always go round
and round when we want to talk?

(THEY LAUGH)

(LOUD HELICOPTER ENGINE)

Sounds like President Trump...
(LAUGHS) ..going round. (LAUGHS)

Oh, look at this lovely plane.

A lot of the things that
entertains me about planes

are these big boles
that grow on the sides. Yes.

So, they become characters,
don't they? They do, yes.

This is... This looks as though
it's got a face on it, doesn't it?

Yeah. They have such personalities.

A lot of planes have this.
Yeah. These great growths on them.

And they also... It's the way the
branches grow horizontally... Yes.

..instead of just curving upwards,

which makes you want to sit on them
and swing your feet.

If you're a monkey.

(LAUGHS) Yes.

I don't suppose my aunt
would have realised that this

would grow to such a huge height.
Indeed so.

It was planted by your aunt?

It was planted by my aunt at the
beginning of the First World War.

Really?
Mmm!

Ha! I think we won't look at that.

That one, we won't look at.

It doesn't seem
to be doing very well.

(LAUGHS)

Are you sure that's
meant to be like that?

Somebody sat on it,
I think, at a garden party. Oh!

We have just got bark
all over the palace floor,

so we'd better just clear that up.

The Queen is hosting
a palace reception

to update representatives
of the Commonwealth

on QCC progress so far and to thank
those countries who have signed up.

The original idea
for the Canopy project

came from the veteran
Labour MP Frank Field.

I tried to get governments to do
something to link the rainforests

together in the Commonwealth.

And nobody was interested at all.

Tony Blair, great enthusiasm
but nothing happened.

Gordon Brown, no response at all.

David Cameron, coalition government,
absolutely hopeless.

The Queen jumped at it.
I mean, it's extraordinary.

I think she saw it as a way of a
new politics for the Commonwealth.

Instead of a lot of old people
telling the Commonwealth what to do,

particularly from the west,
here was a strategy

which people could
opt in to if they wanted to.

It's a real step forward
for the Commonwealth

but it's also
a step forward for the world.

Whether you believe
there's global warming or not,

or what its causes are or not,

I don't think anybody
on either side of this debate

does not believe protecting
the rainforests is important.

She is determined that
we're all going to have

a Queen's rainforest canopy
in place for eternity.

Your Majesty, may I now invite
you to present certificates

to those countries
that have dedicated projects

to the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy.

The reception is designed
to encourage those countries

not yet involved to sign up.

Those who have, get a handshake
and a scroll from the Queen.

The High Commissioner
for Antigua and Barbuda.

The High Commissioner for Australia.

The High Commissioner for Belize.

The High Commissioner
for Brunei Darussalam.

This is from the rainforest.
It's the best coffee in Jamaica.

Blue Mountain Coffee?

Lovely coffee.
That's the one I saw first.

That's amazing.
Thank you. Very interesting.

Namibian High Commission.
Dr Rudie van Vuuren.

Hello. We aim to plant
more and more trees

through recycled water
and using solar energy

to drive that everywhere.
Mm-hm!

You've got enough
solar energy anyway.

Yes, that is the one thing we have.
(THEY LAUGH)

Trees are vital for our
happiness and for our sanity.

And I, in an almost
sort of Teutonic way,

rejoice when I get into a glade

or a bosky nook
of one kind or another.

How often do you do that?

Regularly. I won't say
that, in a Teutonic way,

I disrobe in order to
commune with the forest

but I think it's an important part

of our mental wellbeing.

Water.
Back there?

Quite a sight, isn't it?
Oh, marvellous.

All gardens should have one.

I think we've got several.

And all gardens
should have roses, really.

They've been very
prolific this year.

I imagine you must be
given quite a lot of roses.

Yes, I think we get a lot of gifts,

especially from people who
have just invented a new type.

Oh, really?
Yes. Which is rather fun.

Other people say,
"Would you like this?"

My birthday last year was
very useful, we had a lot.

Very productive of roses.
Very productive of lots of plants.

(LAUGHS) I've been quite
difficult to give presents to.

I believe that's so. They say,
"Oh, let's give her a plant."

Yes. "Or a tree or something."
Which is very nice to have.

The royal family
has been planting trees

around the world for generations.

It's a sort of royal, "I was here."

And a symbol of new life,
growth and stability.

There's something
life-affirming about it.

One, two, three shovels...
There you are. ..and people clap.

(APPLAUSE)

Prince Harry is already an expert
at royal tree planting.

We're going to plant a tree.
Plant a tree? Great.

He's officially representing
the Queen on a two-week tour

of seven islands in the Caribbean.

He'll be meeting as many
Commonwealth citizens as possible

and opening five very
different Canopy projects

on her Majesty's behalf.

(GIRLS SING)

Caribbean forests
are disappearing fast,

often destroyed
by human development.

It's more important than
ever to secure their future.

And these islands are now onboard.

(LAUGHTER)

I feel so incredibly lucky to
be visiting Saint Kitts and Nevis

on behalf of the Queen.

Her Majesty sends her
best wishes to you all

and is sorry not to be able
to be here personally.

I'm also really pleased
to have the opportunity

to thank the people
of Saint Kitts and Nevis

for committing the
Central Forest Reserve

to the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy.

The forests we see
behind us are truly amazing.

Thank you so much for
contributing them to this project

in the year of
the Queen's 90th birthday.

And, wow, what a present!

Thank you.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

(DRUMMING)

On the neighbouring
island of Saint Lucia

the islanders have dedicated
the capital's Waterworks Reserve,

5½ square miles of forest.

It's an area smaller
than Windsor Great Park

but every piece of
protected forest helps.

They're imaginative
with their trees here

and use them for
just about everything.

This is, for example, a local drink.
They use the trees.

What people do, they add cinnamon,

spices, honey and some people...
(DROWNED OUT BY LAUGHTER)

Very good, eh?
Have I just drunk a tree?

Yes, sir.
That's amazing.

We are all here today
to mark Saint Lucia's commitment

to the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy.

The QCC initiative provides
an opportunity to unite us all,

develop new approaches and reduce
our impact on the environment.

It is up to us
to change our behaviour.

So, we're the generation
who are going to have to fix it.

And the platform as a Commonwealth
is a perfect place to start

because you guys
can all talk amongst...

Well, we can all talk
amongst each other.

Share, you know,
the older generation's wisdom

with some new spin
on it from the youth. OK.

As a prince, you are born
with a natural platform

to be able to try
and make a difference. Yeah?

Which a lot of people have to
spend years and years and years

getting to that point.
So, from that perspective,

I'm very lucky to have a platform
to be able to try and make changes.

Causes mean a lot to me
but also to you guys.

And I'm still in
your generation, by the way.

But, at the same time, as I said,

being born with a lot of privilege
comes with a lot of responsibility.

But I like to think that I'm going
to have to spend the rest of my life

earning the respect for
that privilege and trying

to make a difference
for the rest of my life.

I'd like to thank you on behalf
of all of us for that interview.

Thank you very much.
It's what our family do.

We travel the world planting trees.

(LAUGHTER)
I'm serious, I'm serious.

I think I'm closing in on my
half-century of trees planted.

OK, OK. But I reckon the Queen
is up in the thousands.

(LAUGHTER)

I imagine you must know how
many trees are in the garden.

Well, I think there's probably
about 1,400 altogether.

That's quite a lot. Which
is quite a lot, isn't it? Yes.

Of which the planes and the oaks
are very conspicuous indeed. Yes.

I suppose we've planted
quite a lot here since.

Yes, indeed.
Yes, but then somebody dies

or gets struck by lightning.
So you have to go on doing it.

Yes. You know. I'm sure,
as you say, people will

present you with them all the time.

You'll have to find space for them.
Do you like climbing roses?
I do indeed. They're all there.

Which colour would you like?

I think red. Dark red.
It's not quite blood

but that red is a powerful red,
isn't it? It is.

On the other hand,
that blush pink is also nice.

I think the variegated
ones are very pretty.

You know, have different colours.
Yes.

The Queen's project to create

a global network of forests
is gathering pace.

I mean, there are all
kinds of different places

they're growing in and all sorts
of different types of forest.

But each will be
a place of sanctuary

for the whole range
of the indigenous fauna. Yes.

So... And if all the countries
continue to plant

it might change the climate again.

Well, it might indeed.

More than 40 countries
of the Commonwealth have signed up.

But there's still work to be done.

In the Audience Room
at Buckingham Palace,

the Queen is waiting
for the President of Fiji.

The Fijian dance.

You know?

Yes, ma'am.

The President
of the Republic of Fiji

and Mrs Sarote Konrote,
Your Majesty.

Hello. Very nice to see you.

Your Majesty.

(CLAPS)

And this is my wife, Your Majesty.
Very nice to see you.

You're on a visit, then?

Um, on a very brief visit.
A brief visit?

Yes, ma'am.
Mm-hm!

President George Konrote
has suggested an area

of Fiji's tropical rainforest
as a potential contribution

to the Queen's Canopy.

Now, first of all,
I'm going to give you the, um...

You know the
Queen's Commonwealth Canopy?

Yes, ma'am. I gather
that Fiji has already

decided to join this.

This is the certificate for you to
prove that you're going to do it.

Thank you very much indeed.
I receive that with great honour

and thanks and appreciation
from the government.

We'd be very happy to be
part of your initiative

and promote the Commonwealth Canopy.

And this is a forest,
is it, somewhere?

Um, we have some
forests back at home.

Not as big as yours. (LAUGHS)
No.

I don't... Yes, because it's
quite difficult to keep a forest,

isn't it, really?
People try to chop the forests down

and build other crops. Shall we
put it back here for the moment?

Thank you.
Because you don't want to keep it.

Thank you.
Right.

Well, would you like
to come and take a seat here?

Oh, I felt very welcome

at the places I talked
to Her Majesty.

What an honour and a privilege to
be able to sit down and talk to her

for about half an hour.

She's quite a woman.

The Queen is an expert at
exercising so-called soft power,

whether it's welcoming
world leaders in London

or dispatching her family
on diplomatic missions abroad.

The next Canopy dedication
on Prince Harry's Caribbean tour

is from Saint Vincent
and the Grenadines.

200 acres of tropical forest that
make up the Vermont Nature Trail.

Working on the Canopy project
are two young foresters

Jodelia and Felicia.

Well, what we like about this area
is that there are different species.

Around us are all different species
of trees and the growth below.

Are you best friends?
(THEY LAUGH)

Yeah.
Yeah, we are.

We work along... Everything we do,
we work along with one another.

We started the same...
The same day, same year, everything.

And what do you do
in your daily job?

In our daily job, we normally
supervise. We supervise workers,

people. Mm-hm!
And sometimes we patrol the area.

The forest area and farmlands...
Mm-hm!

..to prevent... to make sure that
there is no illegal hunting

or illegal agricultural practices
or anything in the area.

And also maintaining some boundary
markings and everything.

And do you love this forest?
Yes! It's awesome.

It's breathtaking. It's not every
day, you can walk out your door

and just step into something
like this. Some person...

It's cool.
Yes. Yeah.

And every day is like
a learning experience for us.

It's not the same every single day.
It helps our physical health

and also mental.
Ooh! Yeah, the forest.

There's a lot of hiking. (LAUGHS)

Game for a hike himself,
Prince Harry has decided to join

Jodelia and her colleague Samuel
on the newly dedicated

Queen's Commonwealth Canopy
nature trail.

I'm looking at your shoes.
You have proper boots.

Yes, I have hiking boots.

Do you think there's a lot
of young people that

are starting to care about
the environment and conservation?

They're starting to.
Over the last ten to 15 years or so,

even when I started to work,
there was a thrust towards

getting people to accept the
environment wholeheartedly. Yeah.

And it has borne fruit
in that you will hear children

reciting poems from the forest.
You will hear children

telling you not to kill this,
not to kill that, you know.

Yeah. They are very keen
in protecting the forest.

What's so nice is that on this
island, people, youngsters,

they care, you know.
Believe me, there's other places

across the world where people
either take no interest in it,

they don't care or, when it comes
to money, that's more important.

Exactly.
But, as you guys work here,

you know how important
a place like this is. It is.

The Queen's Commonwealth Canopy,
are you guys aware of how big it is?

52 countries. Hopefully,
the whole Commonwealth, you know.

So far, I think,
20 countries have stepped up

and offered or given or said
they're going to plant forests

or given away huge parts
of forest as part of

the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy.

And, you know, as a Commonwealth
family, that's fantastic

because, as soon as two or three
countries or islands do it,

everybody else then
starts to do it as well.

I see the benefit of it
and understand the importance

of sustainability. The benefit
is huge, not just for tourism

but also as part of
conservation for the parrots,

for the soil erosion,
whatever it is,

because if these places
get cut down,

you guys know this, everyone
downstream is going to suffer.

Yeah. Exactly. Landslides,
the whole thing, everything.

So, it's up to you guys
and the next generation

to have that passion to look
after these places. That's true.

Thanks, guys.
You're welcome.

After you. That's amazing.

I'm envious of your job.
(LAUGHS)

Back home in London, the Queen's

job as Head of the Commonwealth
continues.

The President of Namibia and
Madame Geingob, Your Majesty.

This morning, Her Majesty
is holding an audience

with President Geingob of Namibia.

On the agenda is the country's
contribution to The Queen's Canopy.

You only arrived, was it yesterday?
Yes, yesterday evening.

And rather a different climate,
I'm afraid.

Yes, very different.
(LAUGHS) Very different.

Namibia is the most
sparsely populated country

in the Commonwealth.

It's more than three times
the size of the UK

but has just 2.5 million people.

There are vast areas of desert
and it suffers

from drought and deforestation.

Filmmaker and campaigner
Angelina Jolie

has worked on conservation in Namibia

since she first visited
the country in 2003.

Beautiful. I think it's one of the
most beautiful places in the world.

Now she has partnered
with the Namibian government

to make a unique contribution
to the Canopy,

a plant nursery
growing local saplings

to replace dying trees in the desert.

This is our ideal kind of place
where we would plant out

the small trees from the nursery,
here, in a ravine like this.

Look down there on the left.
Those are camelthorn trees.

The most well-known tree
in our country.

So we're going to
come up to some dead trees.

Now, these trees were once green

but these dead trees are getting
more and more every year.

That is quite a change
even in the last decade.

Very noticeable
in the expanding desert.

I love the desert but we don't
want it spreading in such a way.

That's why the nursery
is so important.

We must get the trees
big and strong enough to survive.

That's the work that has to be
done here as fast as possible.

Angelina Jolie has a close,
personal connection to Namibia.

Angelina.

One of her children was born here
and is a citizen of the country.

The local San people are among
the oldest tribes in Africa.

And their unique local knowledge
of the fauna and flora

has been vital in setting up
Angelina's nursery.

(THEY SPEAK OWN LANGUAGE)

My family's trying
their best to dig a hole.

He's finally got a shovel.

It says it all when you see the
local tribe, the Bushmen, come in

and their reactions to it.
(THEY SPEAK OWN LANGUAGE)

The trees affect the environment,
the soil, the shade,

the natural resources,
the animals, the ecosystem.

But also they affect
the local cultures.

They live very dependent
on every single plant

and they use every single plant.
And when certain trees,

certain species disappear,
that affects an entire culture

and their way of life
and they start to die out.

(THEY LAUGH)

You can see with the camelthorn,
you can see the growth.

And these are the ones
we saw from the sky.

This is the one that the
vultures build their nests in.

When the vultures are coming back
and they're back in the system,

you know everything is functioning.
So this is the beginning.

All six of Angelina's children
have joined her on this trip

to plant a tree for the Queen.

The Queen's Canopy
project means so much

and will mean so much
to so many people.

So, for us to come here
and say to the children,

"This is why it's important
to plant a tree,"

that's the biggest message I can
teach my kids and it's something

they've certainly learned from
Her Majesty and her message.

They asked me,
"Why is it so important to her?"

When you sit up at night in a tent
with your kids and they say,

"Why does the Queen of England care
about planting trees in Africa?"

And to be able to
explain that to them

is a really nice way of being able
to explain the world at large

and what should matter and why.

I think that's what it comes
down to, you say to the kids,

"Really, you can't understand
all that it means to be a queen

"and all that,"
but you try to say, you know,

"She's just this really lovely lady
who really cares about people

"around the world and she
really cares about the future.

"And she wants your
grandkids and her grandkids

"to be able to be running
around enjoying nature

"and other cultures and the
importance of other cultures

"And she thinks that really
matters and I agree with her."

(THEY CLAP AND SING)

(LAUGHTER AND CHATTER)

Foxgloves.

Those are wild.

These are things that grow
in clearings, aren't they?

So when the canopy closes over a
clearing, the foxgloves disappear.

But here, you've got
a permanent clearing. Yes.

They are lovely, aren't they?

Much favoured by bees.

Yes.

One wishes one had more
things that bees like...

Yes, indeed.
..nowadays.

And butterflies too.
Yes. Yeah.

We... We have bees in the garden.

Hives? I mean beehives.
Hives? Yes.

So, we may not have mulberries
but you do have honey.

We have honey, yes.
Very good, yes.

It's rather good honey.

I think they probably go miles.
They go into the parks.

Yeah, oh, indeed, yeah.

Hmm! It's not just here.

I would keep it on the label.
We do. (THEY LAUGH)

I suppose the amount of trees
with which you will be presented

are going to change
as our climate changes.

And there will be all
kinds of different trees

growing here
in another 50 years maybe.

Might easily be, yes.

I won't be here, though.

(LAUGHS) I was going to say,

sundial, neatly planted in the shade.
Isn't it good? Yes. (LAUGHS)

Have we thought of that?

That it's planted in the shade?

It wasn't in the shade
originally, I'm sure.

But, er... (LAUGHS)
..maybe we could move it.

It depends if you want
to know the time or not.

The passage of time
is evident in ancient forests

like Epping, east of London.

A one-time royal hunting ground,

where some of the trees
date back to Henry VIII,

who used to ride and hunt here.

It's a fitting contribution
from the UK to the Queen's Canopy.

The really exceptional
thing about Epping Forest

are the number of ancient trees.

We have about 55,000, that's
ancient oak, hornbeam and beech.

The beech and oak being
our most famous tress.

We've got some huge beech, which we
think are about 1,000 years old.

Jeremy Dagley has been walking
the forest as Head of Conservation

for over 22 years.

Epping Forest is the most rich
terrestrial habitat in Europe,

which, I think, for the Queen's
Commonwealth Canopy, makes it

a very special place because
it is so rich in variability.

It's that mosaic from heathland,
grassland, lakes and ponds,

big open-grown oaks.

Epping became the people's
forest under Queen Victoria

when she dedicated it
for their use and enjoyment.

Now the forest, which is
managed by the City of London,

is part of the Queen's Canopy.

And vital work on these ancient
trees is being done in her name.

The last time that these tress were
serviced... Yeah. ..was when?

At least 200 years ago.
200 years ago? Yeah.

And, once again, because of the QCC,
you guys have now been drafted in.

When you...? Sorry. Prince Harry.

We travel the world planting trees.

(LAUGHTER)

In addition to the
international canopy,

the Queen's Canopy project also aims

to encourage
all of us here in Britain

to preserve our own forests

and plant trees
for the generations to come.

Winter, and the Queen
has come home to Windsor.

Behind the castle walls,
Her Majesty is quietly getting back

to her daily tasks.

It's Christmas and,
as they do every year,

the Queen and Prince Philip
are handing out presents

to their loyal working staff...

..by a tree. Mr Michael Field, Head
of Display and Framing of Pictures.

It doesn't look like very much,
I'm afraid.

You're afraid?
Best of luck.

Mr Andrew Whiteman,
the Duke of Edinburgh's valet.

Will you be coming to Sandringham?

I will be, Your Majesty.
You will be? Yes, yes.

From the 1st until the 28th.
Oh, right.

Mr Gary Jones,
fender-smith Windsor Castle.

Thank you very much.
Merry Christmas.

How long have you
been doing this now?

32 years. 30...? I was only
a boy when I started. (LAUGHS)

Mr Neil Turner,
senior castle attendant.

Merry Christmas to you.

Thank you, Your Majesty. You've
been here for several years too.

Yes, too many, sir. Too many? I
shall be retiring, sir. (LAUGHTER)

Yes, ma'am?
You put in here, did you?

Yes, Your Majesty. We brought
it in from the Crown Estates.

It is a Crown Estate?
Yes, it's a Crown Estates one.

Yes, the Great Park. They say it was
about eight to nine years' growth.

Is it? When they cut it down.
Interesting.

It's a fat one, isn't it?
Yes, it's really wide, isn't it?

One of the bigger ones I think
we've had. A weird shape.

Did you do the decorations?
I decorated it, Your Majesty.

A good couple of hours
up and down the ladder. Yes.

This is always the problem,
the children knocking those off.

Yes. I know my grandchildren do,
Your Majesty.

My great-grandchildren do,
even my grandchildren still.

Yes. I should make them decorate it,
then they'd be a bit more careful.

Yes. Thank you very much for doing
it. You're welcome, Your Majesty.

Thanks for lighting the fire.
I enjoy that.

Thank you, Your Majesty.
Thank you very much.

Ma'am, would you like a quick look?
Well, I haven't seen the rest of it.

Trees have been a part of
the Queen's life all her life.

Now, she wants to make sure
they remain a part of ours

for years to come.

Now, here we are.

They really don't...

They're Indian chestnuts,
which don't grow as big as...

..as the British chestnut.
Yes. But they grow well.

And slightly different leaves.
Yes. But they create a canopy,

which I suppose
what all this is about.

And all of the countries
in the Commonwealth...

Nearly all now have agreed.

To allocate parts of their
native forests... Yes.

..for conservation.
And it's called the Queen's Canopy,

which is rather nice.
Well, indeed so.

And they've, they've, um...

I mean there are all kinds
of different places

that they're growing in and all
sorts of different types of forest.

But each will be
a place of sanctuary

for the whole range of
the indigenous fauna. Yes.

And, you know,
it does help the climate

and it does help that,
as you say, the flora and fauna...

And the health of the country,
not only animals

but, actually, the people
who live in it. Yes, indeed.

It's a lung, isn't it?
Yes, indeed.

Some of them are
very small at the moment.

But they'll grow, I think.

Well, that will be marvellous.

A wonderful legacy.

To date, more than
40 countries have signed up

to the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy.

The Queen's Canopy now reaches
the far corners of the planet

and covers vast areas of forest

to be protected for the
people of the Commonwealth

in her name forever.
