The special promises to address her romance with Prince Philip, "her sense of humor" and "the secret messages she sent with her fashion." The special will also address how the queen navigated scandals.

Those scandals include her son, Charles', affair with Camilla Bowles and later divorce from Princess Diana, the death of Diana in a paparazzi chase, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's departure from royal duties. The special includes interviews with palace staff and celebrities reflecting on their time with the queen.

Queen Elizabeth II died Sept. 8 at age 96. She was married to Prince Philip until his death in 2021.

The special will be followed by an encore of the pilot for The Winchesters at 9 p.m.
