Elizabeth was 25 when she became Queen. Over the 70 years plus she spent as sovereign, she ‘made more small talk than any other monarch in history’. For years she prayed for her mother to give birth to a son. She longed to be spared her destiny as Britain’s future Queen. Her dream was to live in the country surrounded by children, dogs and horses. Elizabeth was set firmly on the road to becoming sovereign because of the D word – divorce. In 1936, her uncle David, King Edward VIII, wanted to marry a twice-divorced American, Wallis Simpson. When he couldn’t, he abdicated. After that national trauma, divorce and the fall-out from divorce shaped her reign. She witnessed her sister Margaret, three of her children and several grandchildren divorce. And she lived long enough to see the wheel turn full circle, watching as another American divorcee, Meghan Markle, walked down the aisle with her grandson Prince Harry. Holy Communion during the period of mourning - traditional language. Available as a word document and PDF.

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. This is an informative and easy to ead biography that is perfect t for anyone wanting to learn more about the Queen and wishing to learn more about the woman behind the crown. 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. For years she prayed for her mother to give birth to a son. She longed to be spared her destiny as Britain's future Queen. Her dream was to live in the country surrounded by children, dogs and horses.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.

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 became the stuff of the longest reigning , most travelled and, for a shy woman, the Queen who shook more hands and made more small talk than any other monarch in history . She was seen and believed by millions, either in person, on television or film.

It was a very fair and honest look at her reign and her life and her mistakes as well as her many triumphs Il libro è avvincente e ricco di particolari inediti nella sua prima parte, quando si concentrata a ripercorrere le varie fasi di vita delle principesse Elisabetta e Margaret. La seconda parte, invece, coincide più con i vari drammi familiari, a partire dal matrimonio fra Carlo e Diana. Probabilmente perchè eventi noti e più largamente dibattuti, ho trovato una sorta di rassegna dei tempi che furono, con l'abbozzo del ruolo della regina.Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II: Platinum Jubilee Celebration, 70 Years 1952–2022 contains plenty of images to cover her entire reign – from her childhood and time as heir to the throne to present-day engagements alongside the Prince of Wales, the Cambridges and the late Duke of Edinburgh. It’s striking how the monarchy and the way it is regarded has changed throughout the Queen’s lifetime. There is such a difference from the press silence over Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson in contrast to Diana, Princess of Wales and the Sussexes. 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.
