Como puntos positivos destacar, como ya adelantaba, el personaje de la reina a la que humaniza totalmente y te hace quererla. No penséis que va a ser una Jessica Fletcher o una Miss Marple. La reina es como la cabeza pensante en la trama, la que actúa en la sombra para que todo fluya y no quiere llevarse galones. Ella no se mete en fregados sino que todo lo hace desde la diplomacia y el saber estar “real” junto a su asistente Rozie. You were so calm & composed during the Service and said your words with such conviction, that I knew everything was all right ...

The Queen's 90th birthday

After Princess Elizabeth became Queen, their third child, Prince Andrew, arrived in 1960 and the fourth, Prince Edward, in 1964. Prince Andrew and Prince Edward were the first children to be born to a reigning monarch since Queen Victoria had her family. She was a much-loved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother of - let’s face it - a fairly dysfunctional family. She had vast estates, vast wealth and very little time to herself. She worked every day of the year except Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and was more widely travelled than almost anyone in her generation. Wherever she went, up to a million people would line the streets to see her. She was in the news a lot. The idea that Queen Elizabeth II is a super sleuth and loves a good puzzle of the criminal kind is quite out there and yet it works perfectly. MI5 and the police seem to think that the Queen is just an elderly woman who doesn’t know much, but they are very mistaken. The Queen sees and hears most things and knows far more than she ever lets on.

He is someone who doesn't take easily to compliments. He has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years, and I, and his whole family, and this and many other countries, owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim or we shall ever know.’Collective Worship and suggested follow-up resources to be used as we remember and give thanks for the life of Her Majesty the Queen Brimming with history, tradition, fashion, glamour, and culture, the book spans the Queen's early years rightuntil her passing in 2022.. Along the way, we trace her coming of age during World War II; her marriage, motherhood, and coronation; her encounters with such icons of their age as the Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, and JFK; and her extensive international travels. We visit the spectacular royal palaces and enjoy the infectious celebration of royal weddings and jubilees. We witness the elegance of official portraits, and the intimacy offamily moments. She also spent time at the country homes of her paternal grandparents, King George V and Queen Mary, and her mother's parents, the Earl and Countess of Strathmore. The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh's enduring marriage saw them support each other through many years of Royal duties, and produced four children, eight grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. Though the early years of their marriage saw them living a relatively normal life as a naval officer and wife, The Queen's Accession changed everything as Her Majesty took on her new role, and The Duke of Edinburgh a new status in support of her work. Um es auf den Punkt zu bringen, wäre mein Interesse an der Queen nicht so hoch, hätte ich das Buch abgebrochen, da ich die Aufklärung des Falles uninteressant fand.

The Shadow Cabinet: the bewitching sequel to the sensational

When the Queen unearths clues to the crime, she subtly conveys them to Ravi Singh, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police..... the year of her ninetieth birthday, Queen Elizabeth II is hosting a dine and sleep at Windsor Castle. Amongst the celebrity guests including David Attenborough, is a Russian pianist, Maksim Brodsky. The pianist is quite the ladies’ man and very flirtatious. Even the Queen herself has a dance with him. Overall, The Windsor Knot is a satisfying start to what I think will be a great cozy mystery series. All the Queen’s Men is the second book, and I can’t wait to see what puzzle the Queen will solve next. Mrs Rosalind Shand was 72 when she died in 1994 as a result of osteoporosis. The Queen's grandmother had died from the same condition eight years earlier. The Queen has served as President of the Royal Osteoporosis Society since 2001, having supported the charity since 1994.

It was a time of austerity and anxiety for the whole country, including the Royal Family. But at Christmas time there was a period of light relief when the young Princesses put on pantomimes with the children of members of staff for the enjoyment of her family and employees of the Royal Household. Education During a lunch at Guildhall, London, on 4 June 2002, Her Majesty made a speech in which she thanked the nation for their support throughout her reign:
