The Queen: 1926–2022

Product Information

What a life she has lived, what a story this is, and I’m very pleased to have it in my collection. I hope she has many years left yet so that we can have an updated version of this, (maybe even on another jubilee?!), but for now this is a fabulous biography of a fabulous Queen. I highly recommend this to any royal fans or anyone who just wants to learn more about the longest reigning monarch in British history. I reali sono stati un fascino di molti e questo libro sarebbe un grande ricordo per qualsiasi fan o seguace della monarchia.

Queen Elizabeth II: A Celebration of Her Life and Reign in Queen Elizabeth II: A Celebration of Her Life and Reign in

Princess Elizabeth was in her early teens when she fell for Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark. Despite her mother favouring a member of the English aristocracy, namely Hugh Fitzroy - later the 11th Duke of Grafton - Elizabeth was determined to marry her naval officer. But Elizabeth did her duty, the young princess pledging before her people that she would dedicate her whole life to the service of Britain and the Commonwealth. She hoped that that day would be a long way off. It was not to be. Only twenty-five when she became Queen after the premature death of her father, King George Vl, Elizabeth has become the stuff of superlatives: the longest reigning, most travelled and, for a shy woman, the Queen who has shaken more hands and made more small talk than any other monarch in history. Manca la trattazione dell'ultimo periodo di vita della Queen, in quanto il libro è stato terminato nel primi mesi del 2022 e certamente destinato alla pubblicazione una volta morta la sovrana. Having previously read Elizabeth and Margaret which covered the life of the Royal sisters from birth to date I couldn’t wait to read this standalone book about the Queen. What a perfect time to read the book then during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee to celebrate the Queen’s 70th year as monarch. The book covers the Queen’s early years from her birth to her ascension to the throne and the many challenges she has faced over the years. It’s clear from the book that the then Princess Elizabeth was loved by the country from the day she was born. From a young age the Queen loved horses and when she was horse riding she felt like herself and to a certain extent free. It was quite interesting to learn that the Queen’s father from a young age stated that his daughter reminded him very much of Queen Victoria which showed that from an early age she was destined to play a pivotal role during her life. There were some facts that I was already aware of and also some new ones which I wasn’t aware of. I enjoyed the way the book was written, easy and free flowing and not stuffy and full of pointless dates and things that were not relevant, I also enjoyed a look at her extended ( massive ) family and who they are etcI am deeply saddened by your loss. The Queen was a truly great woman. I shall miss seeing her. I really respected her. I think all of us should be as honorable she. It really would make for a better world. God bless You Queen Elizabeth. I send much love and prayers. As co-owner of Trident Studios, Norman Sheffield found himself in the company of legends. David Bowie recorded Space Oddity at the facility, while the Beatles laid down Hey Jude there, and it is, of course, where Queen recorded the lion’s share of their debut album.

The Times Queen Elizabeth II: Commemorating her life and

This book has been thoroughly researched and has so many interesting facts, many I was not aware of. Your majesty, you were kind hearted, hard working and the epitome of elegance and strength. You will be greatly missed but cherished and remembered forever in our hearts and minds. Thank you for your service as our queen these past 70 years. My thoughts and prayers go out to the royal family at this difficult time.I started reading this book on the eve of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and it really helped me to appreciate her achievements. It charts the Queen’s life from birth to present day and gives great insight into her personality, upbringing, family life, struggles and triumphs as the longest reigning monarch in history. It was a fascinating read, full of facts and stories that I’d never heard before. Political crises are the highlights of the biography: the Profumo scandal; Anthony Blunt, long-serving Surveyor of the Queen’s Pictures, being exposed as a Soviet spy; and the appointment of a new prime minister after Harold Macmillan retired. Appointing Alec Douglas-Home rather than Macmillan’s deputy, Rab Butler, meant she was imposing her choice as Leader of the Conservative Party. The rules of the political party were changed very soon after to ensure this did not happen again. I can definitely see that this isn't a book to everyones tastes especially based on their leanings but if you are willing to remove her title and her work you willl read a story that spans recent history. Its a wonderful look ito how an ancient idea (a ruling monarchy) evolved into the 20th century and managed to maintain it's relevance.

Queen | The Church of England Remembering Her Majesty The Queen | The Church of England

I found this book absolutely fascinating. I'm ashamed to admit I didn't know much at all about the Queen (or any of the royals) prior to reading this and I have found out so many interesting things. It really did give a wonderful insight into her life. It described her ups and downs not only as the Queen of England, but also as a wife, mother and grandmother. I particularly enjoyed reading about the Queen's sense of humour and her daily routine.This is a lovely way of getting another perspective of HM Elizabeth. Would definitely recommend it to others who are so inclined. Schools will want to use collective worship to enable children to remember the life of Her Majesty The Queen and pray forthe rest of the Royal family at this time. This collective worship offers a PowerPoint of photos with an accompanying script remembering different aspects of Her Majesty The Queen'slong life and the chance to pause and reflect on what a life well-lived means for each one of us today.

Elizabeth II,the Greatest Queen of all. May you rest in eternal peace with Prince Phillip by your side. It was thought Philip would have difficulty accepting the junior role in a marital partnership. Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands cautioned the young prince to think hard before ‘entering the Royal cage’. Philip did have problems accepting the restrictions for quite a while. Morton mentions some of the rumours that circulated involving the prince and his equerry, Australian Mike Parker, during their world tours but found no confirmation that any of them were true.
