The documentary will also feature former British Prime Minister Theresa May and Human Rights lawyer, Cherie Blair, the wife of former PM, Tony Blair. The documentary's goal is to open the door to more public discussions about domestic violence and how it should be seen as a fully-fledged crime and not a 'domestic' that is ignored by the police.

Mrs. Blair has made the point also that it is vital to understand that domestic violence is not always physical, but emotional, sexual and psychological, amongst others and the abuser craves power over their victim.

The Queen notes that the murder of Sarah Everard was a critical event in showing that Violence Against Women, regardless if they know their abuser or not, shouldn't be seen by society as 'normal.'

Her Majesty also took the time to address her husband, The King's recovery from cancer. She said he is doing well, but her main concern is trying to stop him from overworking himself. She has been worried for a while and has advised him that he needs to pace himself while undergoing cancer treatment.

The documentary, which is entitled, Her Majesty The Queen: Behind Closed Doors, is due to air on ITV1 on November 11.
