Queen Elizabeth II, the iconic figure who ruled over the United Kingdom for an astonishing seventy years, is the subject of a remarkable biography titled Queen of Our Times. Written by one of Britain's foremost royal authorities, Robert Hardman, this commemorative edition includes an epilogue that reflects upon Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee, her passing, and her funeral.
Sensational – Kirsty Young, The Platinum Pageant (BBC)
Author and royal expert Robert Hardman delves into the full and astonishing life of our longest-reigning monarch in this authoritative yet intimate biography. With fascinating revelations from those who knew her best and special access to unseen royal papers granted by Elizabeth II herself, Hardman explores the remarkable journey of the Queen, from her accession as a young mother of two in 1952 to the age of COVID-19.
Elizabeth was not born to be queen, being third in line to the throne. Yet, from her early days to her final years, she proved to be an astute and determined figure, leading her family and her people through more than seventy years of unprecedented social change. She faced constitutional crises, confronted threats against her life, unified the Commonwealth, saw fifteen British prime ministers come and go, charmed world leaders, and steered her family through a lifetime in the public eye.
Her Platinum Jubilee was celebrated in June 2022, and her death mourned months later, both events serving as a poignant reminder of the immense impact she had made. Queen of Our Times is a must-read study of dynastic survival and renewal, spanning abdication, war, romance, danger, and tragedy. It is a compelling portrait of a leader whose legacy of steadfast service lives on.
