On the annals of recent world history, one leader stands apart. Queen Elizabeth II witnessed more of the planet and its people than any other head of state, and engaged with them in ways unlike any other monarch in British history. Following her coronation, she embarked on a remarkable journey, visiting over 130 countries across the ever-evolving globe, assuming the roles of diplomat, stateswoman, pioneer, and peace-broker. Simultaneously, she managed the responsibilities of being a mother and grandmother, as well as her sixty-four-year marriage to the late Prince Philip. She transformed her father's old empire into the Commonwealth, her family of nations, and gained a deep understanding of its leaders like no one before her. In 2018, they would gather in her own home to endorse her eldest son, the Prince of Wales, as her successor. With extensive access to the Queen's family and staff, Hardman weaves a true story filled with drama, intrigue, exotic and even perilous situations, heroes, rogues, pomp, and glamour. At the heart of it all, the woman who truly captured the hearts of the world for seventy glorious years shines brightly.
