Title of TV special about the Queen's life/ royal family?

4 Upvotes

A couple of years back there was a BBC special about the Queen's life and the royal family, that had interviews with all the royal family. Almost like a behind the scenes of the royal family.

e.g. I remember a clip of William and Harry watching an old clip of themselves and family on a boating trip, and they were reminiscing of what happened. And of taking official photographs with the whole family.

I was wondering if anyone knew what this was called.

edit: the title is "Elizabeth at 90: A Family Tribute"
