William and Kate, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, have recorded tributes to The Queen for an ITV show to celebrate her 90th birthday, and TV duo Ant and Dec will host a live celebration from The Royal Windsor Horse Show.
The Queen’s 90th birthday will be marked by a documentary on ITV, currently named ‘The Queen at Ninety’, to which William, Catherine, Prince Charles and Camilla have contributed.

William and Catherine have been filmed paying tribute to Elizabeth II, now the longest reigning Monarch in British history, a milestone she achieved last September. This is the Duchess’ first ever interview as a member of the Royal Family.
The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall have also recorded messages for The Queen, honouring her lifelong work for Great Britain and the Commonwealth.
Other well-known figures will feature in the documentary as well as archive films, spanning the The Queen’s life from her birth in 1926, through World War Two, to her Coronation in 1953 and a reign spanning more than 60 years.
Nick Kent, Executive Producer for Oxford Film and Television said: “We’ve been fortunate to have the participation of so many members of the royal family to mark this historic milestone in the life of The Queen. It’s a remarkable story of an extraordinary life which in so many ways reflects the changing face of the nation.”
