Queen of Our Times: The Life of Elizabeth II

Product Information

You'd be hard-pressed to find ten uninterrupted pages without mentioning of the Crown or the Sussexes, so if you hate both and have a subscription to Daily Mail, this gem should definitely be in your echo chamber. Many of the biographies of Queen Elizabeth and other royals have been written in a way that makes the author appear to have an axe to grind. The chapter of the now Prince and Princess of Wales is bright and cheerful the next chapter in royal history,of course there is coverage of Harry and Megan's marriage and the fall out . Elizabeth: The Unseen Queen tells the story of the Queen's life through BBC exclusive access to never-before-seen home videos and footage of Elizabeth’s private moments, making it the most complete look at her life in existence to date. There will be no more thorough, more readable, more original book on Elizabeth II as we celebrate a life and reign that, surely, will never be equaled.

When discussing current affairs or politics, particularly foreign affairs, she never seems bored by it, or tired by it. Hardman walks through year by year the Queen’s dance of global leadership combined with freedom for democratic electorates to choose their own beat, while companionably dancing with those countries that wanted to stay ensembled through the Commonwealth. Although I was initially disappointed in this book, by the end of its 600+ pages I couldn't help holding it in very high regard.With fascinating revelations from those who knew her best and special access to unseen royal papers granted by Elizabeth II herself, author and royal expert Robert Hardman explores the full, astonishing life of our longest reigning monarch in this authoritative yet intimate biography.

The churn of Prime Ministers and governments through the decades of QE2’s reign illustrates the wisdom of a royal hand in long term diplomacy as a small group of people have a lifetime commitment to upholding the history, the confidentiality, and the service of the head of state. Robert Hardmanis the author of Queen of Our Times; Her Majesty;and Queen of the World,all available from Pegasus Books. My entire life she’s reigned, and for most of the life of anyone who is likely to read this review, even should she pass into eternity any day, she has been Queen of the United Kingdom and various realms for almost a century.I think it is the loss of this that is most striking by its sudden (albeit expected at some point fairly soon) absence. And now she is preparing for an event without parallel since the reign of Louis XIV: her Platinum Jubilee. Od koronacji w 1952 roku, przez rozwój społeczeństwa, zmiany w obyczajach i rewolucję technologiczną, aż po Brexit i narastające napięcia w imperium brytyjskim, książka pokazuje, jak królowa stała na czele narodu w turbulentnych czasach.

The sentence – meaning, President and friends' – was a short one, but she could not afford to mispronounce it. Every word had been scrutinized and approved by her government (except for her Gaelic introduction, which had been a personal touch) yet her words were unquestionably from the heart.They have demonstrated that your fate is not completely sealed by birth into the State system because, whether already King or merely in the line of succession, you can step away from public service to the monarchy. In addition to getting a good view of the Queen's personal life I also learned much about other members of the Royal Family. The book is written in a very chaotic style, not just going after The Crown and the Sussexes but also praising the mundane, downplaying the faults and using irrelevant information to make a point.
