'The most revealing, intimate and authoritative portrait of the Queen ever written' The Times

The Queen lived through nearly a century of immense change and upheaval. Her own family experiences, a mixture of happiness and crisis, weddings and divorces, and, in the case of Diana, violent death, have been lived in the glare of tabloid headlines. More than 2 billion people watched the wedding of her grandson Prince William to Catherine Middleton in 2010 shortly before she made the first State Visit to Ireland by a British monarch for 100 years. Our world has changed more in her lifetime than in any of her predecessors'- and before her death, the Queen remained a calm presence at the centre, earning the respect of monarchists and republicans. How did she do it?

'The only book that could overtake it is the autobiography, which in this case will never be written' Spectator

'Bradford has a real grasp of history and the ability to make it spark into new life' Sunday Telegraph

'Bradford's forte, ever since she was a history-mad girl, is thinking herself into other lives' Daily Telegraph
