I also found it far too short (perhaps 1/3 the length of the original, if you subtract the Barbara Walters intros after every commercial), and most likely re-edited for the American audience. I can't imagine that the American visit segment was as lengthy and foregrounded for audiences outside the US. It didn't add anything, and it made us look provincial.
I did like the segment where the cameras caught Prince Charles making small talk with a pregnant woman while they watched local children dancing. He's genuinely good at it, and he did seem warmer and more human that the press ordinarily portrays him. I'd like to have seen more of moments like those.
Although I think Annie Leibowitz misread how she should deal with her subject during the photo shoot, I thought her description of the Queen as "feisty" was apt, and I did love the final portrait (with crown firmly intact!).
