Description
Sarah Gristwood celebrates the legacy of Queen Elizabeth II and her enduring popularity among her many supporters. The twists and turns of her life are chronicled, beginning with her teenage years during the war, marrying the Duke of Edinburgh, and her ascension to the throne.
An internationally admired figure, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was the most high-profile monarch in the world, known for her extensive popularity.
Spanning from 1926 to the end of her reign in 2022, Elizabeth: The Queen and the Crown reveals the story behind Britain's longest-reigning monarch's extraordinary life. Sarah Gristwood explores the pivotal moments in Her Majesty’s life – including her teenage years during World War II, meeting and marrying Prince Philip of Greece, later the Duke of Edinburgh, and her accession to the throne in 1952.
The book is divided into chapters covering different periods of her life, from ‘Apprenticeship (1926–1956)’, ‘Being Queen (1956–1986)’ to ‘Change, Celebration and Commemoration (1986–2022)’, detailing the extraordinary events in the Queen's life alongside her everyday duties as monarch.
