The Queen: 1926–2022

Product Information

Offering an impressive level of detail, this is arguably the definitive Queen bio. Blake fills gaps in the band’s timeline with contributions from both school friends and former bandmates such as Smile keyboardist Chris Smith, the latter confiding that "Freddie had a lot to do with dressing Brian” as Queen fine-tuned their early image. Riveting stuff. This book has been thoroughly researched and has so many interesting facts, many I was not aware of. Whether you are a Royalist or not, no-one can deny that 70years of servitude can go unnoticed and unpraised! Of course no book about the Queen would be complete without Prince Phillip, The Queen’s husband and soul mate. It was lovely to read about how they met and fell in love. At the same time Prince Phillip was very forward thinking and brought fresh ideas to The Royal Family. He championed the Queen’s coronation being televised so that this event could be celebrated by everyone despite the Queen being reluctant to do this it was an overwhelming success. The Queen and Prince Phillip did agree on a lot of things but at the same time there were instances when the Queen’s position clashed with the ideas of others including her family. One famous example of which was the surname that the Queen and Prince Phillip’s children should have. One of my favourite parts of the book was learning that when the Queen was practising for the coronation she would tie several sheets to her shoulders as robes whilst walking down a makeshift runway. I loved how she would wear her crown whilst doing daily tasks to get use to the weight of it and the times when she didn’t have the crown she would use a bag of flour as a substitute. In this entertaining and insightful biography, writer Andrew Morton, author of Diana, Her True Story and Elizabeth & Margaret, takes you behind the scenes to uncover the woman and her world.

I enjoyed reading this especially at this time with all the Platinum Jubilee celebrations which were going on last weekend. Our dear Queen Elizabeth II, you served your country and Realms with dedication and diversity., in changing times and modernisation. Thank you for everything. May you Rest in Peace with your beloved Phillip.Told in an informal style this book tells the story of The Queen, her history, family, homes, travels, good/bad times, her duties, passions, personality….the list is endless but tells it all in a non boring way, I dont think I found one paragraph tedious, although has to be said I have a more than passing interest of course I particularly enjoyed the chapters depicting the Queen’s childhood and the glamorous and vivid years before her coronation. The queen’s sense of humour, love for her family and sense of duty are consistent themes throughout the book. But more than you being the Queen, you were a mother, a grandmother, and great grandmother and a treasured and much loved family member and will be I am sure sorely missed . My wish is for you now to rest in piece with your parents, and your beloved Phillip, and for your family to be able to grieve and heal in their own time . Manca la trattazione dell'ultimo periodo di vita della Queen, in quanto il libro è stato terminato nel primi mesi del 2022 e certamente destinato alla pubblicazione una volta morta la sovrana.

Queen Elizabeth II: A Celebration of Her Life and Reign in Queen Elizabeth II: A Celebration of Her Life and Reign in

Elizabeth was 25 when she became Queen. Over the 70 years plus she spent as sovereign, she ‘made more small talk than any other monarch in history’. RIP your majesty. Thank you for your hard work, kindness, and love for all the people of the world. You are very inspirational to many. You deserve all the praises. I'll hug my corgis a little bit tighter tonight. Il libro è avvincente e ricco di particolari inediti nella sua prima parte, quando si concentrata a ripercorrere le varie fasi di vita delle principesse Elisabetta e Margaret. La seconda parte, invece, coincide più con i vari drammi familiari, a partire dal matrimonio fra Carlo e Diana. Probabilmente perchè eventi noti e più largamente dibattuti, ho trovato una sorta di rassegna dei tempi che furono, con l'abbozzo del ruolo della regina.After the retirement of the more elderly courtiers, and especially after the death of the Queen’s mother, progressive changes happened more frequently. Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother was no longer around to remind Elizabeth of precedent and tradition. Collective Worship and suggested follow-up resources to be used as we remember and give thanks for the life of Her Majesty the Queen Questo libro è arrivato al momento per me più fondamentale per capire e sapere tutto su questa donna fantastica che è stata un’icona è un vero punto di riferimento per tutti. Having such an important role in the monarchy and to lead the country for 70 years through changing times over 7 decades I think is absolutely marvelous. Although the Queen is the head of the monarchy and our ruling sovereign, she is also an extraordinary woman. She plays the role of Queen but her other simultaneous roles include daughter, sister, wife, mother and grandmother, great grandmothers etc. She continues to work and at the same time raise and guide a family.

Queen: I Want It All by Greg Brooks | Waterstones

This book gives honest accounts of times where the public may believe she fell from grace, such as the aftermath of the Aberfan tragedy. But it also shows how Elizabeth grew into the nations grandmother. Like most biographies of very well known, high profile people, much of the Queen’s story feels familiar – particularly if you are a fan of The Crown. The World has lost a truly great lady. Seventy years of faithful service; a magnificent role model for us all. May Her Majesty Rest in Peace, reunited with her beloved husband. Sincere condolences to His Majesty King Charles and The Royal Family.

Going through the Queen's life so far, up to the point of the Platinum Jubilee, Andrew Morton offers up first hand accounts and supplementary information for the events we have experienced during the reign of Elizabeth II. It gives some insights into the dynamics between different family members across generations which was the bit I really enjoyed. I have tried not to read the tabloids with regards to the Royal Family for many years and whilst this book is not endorsed by 'The Firm' as far as I know, it seems to have more substance than the tabloids. It was a very fair and honest look at her reign and her life and her mistakes as well as her many triumphs
