An intimate portrait of England's longest-reigning queen, in celebration of her diamond jubilee -- and the first-ever book interview with her grandson, HRH Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge. History has known no monarch like her. She has travelled farther than all her predecessors put together and lived longer than any of them. She has known more historic figures than anyone alive--from Churchill to Mandela, de Gaulle to Obama. She sits at the head of an ancient institution that remains, simultaneously, popular, regal, and relevant in a 21st-century world. Now, the distinguished royal writer Robert Hardman has been granted rare and privileged access to the world of Queen Elizabeth II to produce this new portrait of one of the most popular public figures on earth. As Elizabeth marks sixty years on the throne, Hardman travels with her around Britain and the world. He meets Her Majesty's family--including Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge--her closest advisers, her prime ministers past and present, and her devoted staff, from her Lord Chamberlain down to her footmen.--From publisher description.
