The Times Queen Elizabeth II: Commemorating her life and

This is an informative and easy to ead biography that is perfect t for anyone wanting to learn more about the Queen and wishing to learn more about the woman behind the crown. You were the most amazing inspiration to all in your dedication to service, steadfastness and duty. God bless you. Justine

When very young, she listened gravely to ‘Grandpa England’ (King George V) as he extolled the virtues of duty, decency and hard work. Her mother taught the future Queen to be kind, courteous and to appreciate the benefits of Christian values. Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, believed a decent character, a moral compass and a sensitive awareness of the needs of others were as important, if not more so, than intellectual endeavours. I enjoyed the way the book was written, easy and free flowing and not stuffy and full of pointless dates and things that were not relevant, I also enjoyed a look at her extended ( massive ) family and who they are etc For years she prayed for her mother to give birth to a son. She longed to be spared her destiny as Britain’s future Queen. Her dream was to live in the country surrounded by children, dogs and horses.

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 Queen by Andrew Morton is a beautiful biographical book about our UK Queen Elizabeth. This book has come at the perfect time to celebrate the queen's platinum jubilee! And what an amazing woman Elizabeth is - reigning for 70 years! I loved the photographs used in the book and found out many new facts and snippets of information I didn't know before reading this book. 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. It’s striking how the monarchy and the way it is regarded has changed throughout the Queen’s lifetime. There is such a difference from the press silence over Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson in contrast to Diana, Princess of Wales and the Sussexes. I loved the fact that she was called Lilibet by her father and close family members and I enjoyed hearing about her sense of humour.

She plays the role of Queen but her other simultaneous roles include daughter, sister, wife, mother and grandmother, great grandmothers etc. She continues to work and at the same time raise and guide a family. I mourn the passing of the face of our nation for 70 years.She embodied all that was good and noble.My sincere condolences to all the royal family at this sad time. I’d never met her majesty’ but she was part of all our families and households over her reign. What an incredible person, she was made Britain, Britain. She is now with her beloved husband again, sleep tight your majesty 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. 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. This meticulously researched Queen book does exactly what it says on the tin. The stories behind every song the band released are enriched with well-written profiles of not only all four members, but also the likes of Mary Austin and the aforementioned Norman Sheffield. I found this an insightful and interesting look at The Queen. It definitely gave me another dimension - not that I ever subsrcibed to the icey, distant woman that she was portrayed as.
