"The first time the young Elizabeth re-encountered her parents, she didn’t quite recognize them," Lacey said."She'd actually grown closer to her grandfather and grandmother."Lacey said the experience taught her"from a very early age, the virtues of detachment."
After her parents' return, Princess Elizabeth and her younger sister Margaret's childhood was described as relatively"normal." But the future queen struggled to formulate relationships in which she felt comfortable, royal biographer Gyles Brandreth said."I think it was difficult for people to treat her normal, for her to have normal relationships with people," he said."She was perhaps a bit wary of everyone except for those she knew very well.
The Queen's cousin recalled having"lovely unorganized fun" with the princesses in the special, adding that Elizabeth was"always the more serious of the two."
