Questo libro è arrivato al momento per me più fondamentale per capire e sapere tutto su questa donna fantastica che è stata un’icona è un vero punto di riferimento per tutti. As an Anglican, proud of my small but, to me at least, important connection to England through the Church I am deeply saddened and grieve the loss of Our Queen. Even being a US Citizen I have always seen her as my Queen, the Head of Our Mother Church, and a true example of loving Christian leadership. I assure you of my prayers for Her soul and all of you as I join you in mourning her passing. God Save the King!

The Times Queen Elizabeth II: Commemorating her life and

Having such an important role in the monarchy and to lead the country for 70 years through changing times over 7 decades I think is absolutely marvelous. Qui si racconta tutta la vita di Elisabetta dalla nascita fino ai primi mesi del 2022; scritto in maniera elegante ma non noiosa, il libro ripercorre momenti pubblici e privati di una donna diventata per caso regina ( e anche la più longeva regina) e che ha dimostrato a un mondo che non la riteneva all’altezza di, non solo essere una grande sovrana, ma anche una madre, nonna, moglie, zia, sempre perfetta e in linea con i tempi. In this entertaining and insightful biography, award-winning writer Andrew Morton, author of Diana, Her True Story and Elizabeth & The Intimate World of the Windsor Sisters, takes you behind the scenes to uncover the woman and her world. I found the chapter about Prince Charles and the Duchess if Cornwall really interesting, particularly the focus on how to introduce her to the public. Young Elizabeth Windsor was not born for this role, this wasn't her future. However she grew into it in the most tragic of circumstances and has never faltered.Sicuramente non è alla portata della più celebra opera letteraria di Andrew Morton, ovvero la biografia di Diana tratta dalle sue dirette confessioni.

Queen | The Church of England Remembering Her Majesty The Queen | The Church of England

Elizabeth was set firmly on the road to becoming sovereign because of the D word - divorce. In 1936, her uncle David, King Edward VIII, wanted to marry a twice-divorced American, Wallis Simpson. When he couldn't he abdicated. Since that national trauma, divorce and the fall-out from divorce has shaped her reign. She has witnessed her sister Margaret, three of her children and several grandchildren divorce. And she has lived long enough to see the wheel turn full circle, watching as another American divorcee, Meghan Markle, walked down the aisle with her grandson Prince Harry. I particularly enjoyed the chapters depicting the Queen’s childhood and the glamorous and vivid years before her coronation. The queen’s sense of humour, love for her family and sense of duty are consistent themes throughout the book.I found this book absolutely fascinating. I'm ashamed to admit I didn't know much at all about the Queen (or any of the royals) prior to reading this and I have found out so many interesting things. It really did give a wonderful insight into her life. It described her ups and downs not only as the Queen of England, but also as a wife, mother and grandmother. I particularly enjoyed reading about the Queen's sense of humour and her daily routine. From being a child, through to her wartime endeavours, her marriage, coronation, family tragedy and humiliation. Elizabeth has faced it all admirably. Her Majesty came to the throne the year I was born. She has been a stable and constant presence through out my life helping the Country and Commonwealth, and the world, to navigate change. She was born a year after my own mother and passed a year after. Both 96. Rest In Peace your Majesty and thank you for your steadfast presence in all our lives. I am deeply saddened by your loss. The Queen was a truly great woman. I shall miss seeing her. I really respected her. I think all of us should be as honorable she. It really would make for a better world. God bless You Queen Elizabeth. I send much love and prayers.

Queen: 1926–2022 by Andrew Morton | Goodreads The Queen: 1926–2022 by Andrew Morton | Goodreads

Told in an informal style this book tells the story of The Queen, her history, family, homes, travels, good/bad times, her duties, passions, personality….the list is endless but tells it all in a non boring way, I dont think I found one paragraph tedious, although has to be said I have a more than passing interest of course This is a wonderful book and a beautiful keepsake. If you like the crown and are keen to learn more this would be a great read for you.

Of course no book about the Queen would be complete without Prince Phillip, The Queen’s husband and soul mate. It was lovely to read about how they met and fell in love. At the same time Prince Phillip was very forward thinking and brought fresh ideas to The Royal Family. He championed the Queen’s coronation being televised so that this event could be celebrated by everyone despite the Queen being reluctant to do this it was an overwhelming success. The Queen and Prince Phillip did agree on a lot of things but at the same time there were instances when the Queen’s position clashed with the ideas of others including her family. One famous example of which was the surname that the Queen and Prince Phillip’s children should have. One of my favourite parts of the book was learning that when the Queen was practising for the coronation she would tie several sheets to her shoulders as robes whilst walking down a makeshift runway. I loved how she would wear her crown whilst doing daily tasks to get use to the weight of it and the times when she didn’t have the crown she would use a bag of flour as a substitute.
