Description
In this incredible companion to the second and third seasons of Netflix's acclaimed series The Crown, renowned biographer and the show's historical consultant Robert Lacey takes us through the real history that inspired the drama.
Covering two tumultuous decades in the reign of Elizabeth II, Lacey examines the key social, political, and personal moments and their effects not only on the royal family, but also on the world around them. From the Suez Canal Crisis and the US/Russia space race to the Duke of Windsor's collaboration with Hitler and the rumoured issues with the royal marriage, the book provides a fascinating insight into the two decades that the show covers, revealing the truth behind the fiction on-screen.
Extensively researched and complete with beautifully reproduced photographs, this book offers a unique look behind the history that inspired the show and the years that would prove to be the making of The Queen.
