The Queen: 1926-2022

Following her death in September 2022, the outpouring of affection and admiration for the Queen was as touching as it was remarkable. She had been a matriarch to the nation for over seven decades, and tens of millions of people - in Britain and across the world - poured forth their heartfelt respect for this extraordinary woman in the ten days of mourning that followed. Including a queue of up to twenty-four hours` wait, momentous ceremonial processes across two countries and emotional coffin-side vigils from the monarch`s closest family members - these were events the scale of which are unlikely to be repeated. In this insightful biography, veteran royal biographer Andrew Morton charts Elizabeth`s life , from her ascent to the throne at twenty-five, through fifteen Prime Ministers; the turmoil and tragedies of family life that dogged her until the end; a once- in -a-lifetime pandemic, during which she became the reassuring face of hope and optimism, solidifying her status as grandmother to the nation; and on to her record -breaking Platinum Jubilee, the first UK monarch to reign for over seventy years.Now updated with a compelling new epilogue bringing the Queen`s story to its close, this definitive account offers revelatory insights into the life of an inimitable woman, the likes of whom we will never see again.
