Last week saw the Queen addressing the General Assembly of the United Nations for the first time in more than half a century…but in other news, it’s the first time EVER she’s appeared on BrainPOP UK!

More tea, your Majesty?

In our latest UK specific movie, Tim and Moby describe the many intricacies of being The Queen.

You’ll discover what it means to be Head of State; the difference between queen and government; how many countries are in the Commonwealth; and the conflicting views of the Republicans versus the Monarchists. You’ll also learn why the Queen visits all those overseas countries; why she frequently hosts garden parties; and how she honours those who have been of service to the country. And, just how long has she been in the job?

We’ve made it our featured movie this week, so grab yourself a cuppa and sit down for an audience with The Queen.
