This is ironic given that history and Elizabeth's relation to preceding monarchs made it highly unlikely that she would ever even inherit the throne. It was only the abdication of her uncle, in circumstances that shocked the world that put the young Princess Elizabeth's father on the throne and made her the heir.
Queen Elizabeth II has become so much a part of British society and culture that her presence is taken almost for granted, setting the standard people now expect of a British monarch. The longest lived and second longest reigning monarch in British history, Elizabeth II has overseen her country during a time of incredible turmoil and ever-accelerating change, providing a stable figure at the heart of a nation going through seemingly endless upheavals. Her impact in this regard extends beyond the United Kingdom and all the way to those countries of the Commonwealth over which she is still monarch.
Inside this Riveting Royal Account, you'll discover:
- The pivotal moments and decisions in Elizabeth's reign that shaped the modern British monarchy.
- Insightful glimpses into the Queen's personal life, her roles as a mother, a wife, and a leader.
- The Queen's interaction with world leaders, her impact on global politics, and her role in major historical events.
- Rare photographs and personal anecdotes that bring the Queen's story to vibrant life.
There are many versions of Queen Elizabeth I of England; the beautiful young Tudor Queen courted by all the princes of Europe; a fearless virgin warrior in white velvet, rousing her troops on the battlefield; an irascible old woman in a powdered wig, surrounded by fawning young men.
A formidable woman, Elizabeth I ruled alone at a time when Europe was a hotbed of conflict, dominated by empire-seeking Kings with opposing religious beliefs.
