Did we ever hear the Queen really speaking?

I was just watching a programme on Netflix about the Duchy of Cornwall where the then Duke spoke a lot to camera, and was also seen speaking to tenants and Duchy workers. I know there was also the Dimbleby interview, but it made me wonder how often we heard the Queen just talking. There were plenty of speeches, and wee snippets of her doing the ‘ have you come far?’, but I don’t recall her ever being heard speaking as herself.
I think people might be able to relate to the King more easily, since they’ve seen more of him.

Going back to the ‘Royal Family’ documentary, years ago, the Queen was shown speaking back then, in her home, at barbecues, taking Prince Edward to the local shop at Balmoral for an ice cream.

Much more recently, she was interviewed speaking about the Crown Jewels, I think it was with Clive Myrie. She was speaking about wearing the Crown.

And then that lovely quite recent film when she did much of the narrating herself, showing many unseen family photographs. Can’t recall the title.

There was a fairly recent documentary about her love of horses and she was speaking on that.

The one I’m thinking of was ‘Elizabeth, The Unseen Queen’.
