Requirements: .ePUB reader, 10.6 MB
Overview: In this warm and witty biography of Elizabeth II in her jubilee year, Sunday Times bestseller Ian Lloyd reveals the people, events and themes that have shaped her life and rule.
‘I get enormously impressed when she walks into a room,’ Princess Margaret once said of her sister. ‘It’s a kind of magic.’ Prince William recalled, ‘As I learned growing up, you don’t mess with your grandmother. What she says goes.’
At the time of Elizabeth II’s accession, Winston Churchill was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Harry S. Truman was President of the United States and Joseph Stalin still governed the Soviet Union. It is often said that she has never put a foot wrong during her seven decades as monarch, and even those ideologically opposed to Britain and its governments have lauded her. Remarkably, she has retained her relevance as sovereign well into her nineties, remaining a reassuring constant in an ever-changing world.
