Description:
'The most revealing, intimate and authoritative portrait of the Queen ever written' The Times

The Queen lived through nearly a century of immense change and upheaval. Her own family experiences, a mixture of happiness and crisis, weddings and divorces, and, in the case of Diana, violent death, have been lived in the glare of tabloid headlines. More than 2 billion people watched the wedding of her grandson Prince William to Catherine Middleton in 2010 shortly before she made the first State Visit to Ireland by a British monarch for 100 years. Our world has changed more in her lifetime than in any of her predecessors'- and before her death, the Queen remained a calm presence at the centre, earning the respect of monarchists and republicans. How did she do it?
