The Queen

The Queen by Michelle Morgan offers a warm and nostalgic biography of the powerhouse monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. Written by an experienced biographer, this book is structured around 100 vignettes, inviting readers into an intimate telling of key moments from her long life.

Many of the stories within relate to significant milestones such as her wedding to Prince Philip, the coronation, the birth of her children, and her jubilees. The narrative is enriched with fascinating stories that have been lost or forgotten over the past century. These include immersive accounts of her working life, such as trips around the country and abroad, and the people she met along the way, sharing unique anecdotes of their interactions.

The book is beautifully complemented by striking photographs capturing the Queen at different stages of her life. From her days as a shy princess to her time as a World War II mechanic, and her role as Head of the Commonwealth and Defender of the Faith, the Queen remained a stoic stalwart to the very end.

Told with insight and warmth, The Queen serves as the perfect tribute to our longest-reigning monarch, providing a touching portrayal that celebrates her enduring legacy.
