This specially updated edition, released to commemorate the passing of the late and much-missed monarch, is a delightful collection of warm and amusing recollections from the royal household, celebrating the lighter side of palace life. As the longest reigning monarch of this realm, the Queen symbolized stability, hope, and continuity, and her unwavering dedication to her duty even in her advanced age earned her the love and admiration of her subjects. However, beneath her stoic and sensible exterior, the Queen possessed a playful and keen sense of humor, as evidenced by her delightful invitation to Paddington Bear for tea to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee.

How did the Queen react when she discovered her footman draped in her jewels? What did she do to amuse herself during the hours spent sitting for her portrait? How did she respond when faced with a plate full of Mexican food? These questions and many more are answered in this charming, illustrated book, which provides a unique glimpse into the world of the royals. Gathered together in this affectionate tribute are a compendium of stories that offer access to the unique world of the House of Windsor.

The Queen's reign was marked by significant events and milestones, including her Diamond Jubilee in 2012 and her Platinum Jubilee in 2022. Throughout her reign, she remained a beloved figurehead, inspiring generations with her grace, dignity, and commitment to service. This updated edition of the book pays tribute to the Queen's remarkable life and legacy, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of the monarchy to captivate and inspire.
