Feb 1953 – the first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. Little does she know she is about to be deployed in a secret coup by the State Department and C.I.A. which will destroy Iran’s last democracy and relations with the West.

In a tale of double agents and decoys, this documentary reveals, for the first time, the story of King George VI's elaborate ruse to divert German attention away from the Normandy landings in 1944. It also uncovers how the Queen and future Queen Elizabeth II were enlisted in the ruse, and how the royal household managed to lose one of Britain’s greatest secrets of WWII.
