The Queen: 1926–2022

Product Information

I plan to read other books by Andrew Morton as I feel I have learnt something here during an enjoyable read. It was a balanced look at the reign, the highs and the lows. Queen In 3D by the band's guitarist Brian May is as close to a proper autobiography as you're going to get, with the musician applying his lifelong love of the art of stereography to the contents to give a unique and deeply personal insight into both his life and the workings of his colossal band. As an Anglican, proud of my small but, to me at least, important connection to England through the Church I am deeply saddened and grieve the loss of Our Queen. Even being a US Citizen I have always seen her as my Queen, the Head of Our Mother Church, and a true example of loving Christian leadership. I assure you of my prayers for Her soul and all of you as I join you in mourning her passing. God Save the King! Family crises forced Her Majesty to take a welcome break from the drudgery of the interminable arrival of red boxes and the reading of official papers: Princess Margaret wishing to marry her divorced equerry, Group Captain Peter Townsend; the publicity surrounding Prince Charles and his long-term mistress; Princess Margaret again and Roddy Llewelyn; and the death of Princess Diana, the most emotional part of this biography. After the excitement of the Platinum Jubilee Weekend it was an absolute pleasure reading this fabulous book by Morton.

Queen: I Want It All by Greg Brooks | Waterstones

In this entertaining and insightful biography, writer Andrew Morton, author of Diana, Her True Story and Elizabeth & Margaret, takes you behind the scenes to uncover the woman and her world. 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 etc 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.

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. Qui si racconta tutta la vita di Elisabetta dalla nascita fino ai primi mesi del 2022; scritto in maniera elegante ma non noiosa, il libro ripercorre momenti pubblici e privati di una donna diventata per caso regina ( e anche la più longeva regina) e che ha dimostrato a un mondo che non la riteneva all’altezza di, non solo essere una grande sovrana, ma anche una madre, nonna, moglie, zia, sempre perfetta e in linea con i tempi. I reali sono stati un fascino di molti e questo libro sarebbe un grande ricordo per qualsiasi fan o seguace della monarchia. 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. The book covers Elizabeth's life from birth through to the present day. The royals have been a fascination of many and this book would make a great keepsake for any fan or follower of the monarchy.

Queen: 1926–2022 by Andrew Morton | Goodreads The Queen: 1926–2022 by Andrew Morton | Goodreads

During her reign, the world has changed immeasurably, yet she has kept abreast of cultural and political changes, and remained a great role model for the commonwealth, despite her every move being under the microscope. The book really brought this point home. For a shy girl who desperately didn’t want to be monarch, she has done us proud!

Queen of Our Times by Robert Hardman | Waterstones

This is a beautifully written biography about our Queen Elizabeth and it's come at the perfect time as we celebrated her platinum jubilee earlier this month! It also made my heart ache when they discussed Diana's death and how she was portrayed as unfeeling. I enjoyed reading this especially at this time with all the Platinum Jubilee celebrations which were going on last weekend.Collective Worship and suggested follow-up resources to be used as we remember and give thanks for the life of Her Majesty the Queen He encapsulated everything Elizabeth, from her childhood, her Coronation, her love for her husband and her passion in her duty as our Queen.

The Times Queen Elizabeth II: Commemorating her life and

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. Going through the Queen's life so far, up to the point of the Platinum Jubilee, Andrew Morton offers up first hand accounts and supplementary information for the events we have experienced during the reign of Elizabeth II. It gives some insights into the dynamics between different family members across generations which was the bit I really enjoyed. I have tried not to read the tabloids with regards to the Royal Family for many years and whilst this book is not endorsed by 'The Firm' as far as I know, it seems to have more substance than the tabloids. The book is dvided into broad sections that deal with key events in her life – her childhood, marriage and coronation are covered in detail. There’s less detail as you get closer to current events. This exhaustive collection has been put together by the Queen Productions team and includes lyrics for every song from each album up to and including their final album – 1995’s Made In Heaven. Some are augmented by the band members’ original scribblings and there’s a complete, albeit rather bare, discography too. He released the set without even bothering with a single to precede it, preferring fans to hear it as a whole entity – an archetypically progtastic move”: Prince’s Around The World In A DayWe learn about queen Elizabeth’s life from birth to the present day, there is a lot of information to take in, much of it I knew nothing of before reading this book. Andrew Morton ci regala un’altra appassionante biografia reale: questa volta è la compianta regina Elisabetta II, anche se il libro è stato scritto prima della morte della sovrana. My heartfelt condolences to the family. She will be sorely missed. As a Trinidad national she was the only leader I looked up for guidance. I thank her for all the love she showed us all.MUCH LOVE. I must admit that I have never been particularly interested in the royal family as a whole, my grandmother used to refer to them as ‘snobby gets’ which always made me laugh as a child. However, I have always enjoyed watching the queen's speech at Christmas and honestly, she comes across as a lovely lady on screen.
