Description
Throughout history, there has been no Monarch like her. She was not merely the oldest Sovereign this country has ever known. She was the most worldly. She has traveled further than all her predecessors put together. She has met more historic figures than anyone alive – from Churchill to Mandela, de Gaulle, Reagan and Obama. Having inherited a quasi-Edwardian institution nearly 60 years ago, the Queen presided over a Monarchy which has managed to remain, simultaneously, popular, regal, inclusive and relevant in a 21st Century world. She has done this so effectively that she was, beyond doubt, the most respected and popular figure in British public life.
Robert Hardman explores the secrets of the Queen’s success to produce a fascinating new portrait of a Sovereign who has witnessed more change than any since the creation of Great Britain.
