"e;An exemplary book."e; Martin Amis, The New Yorker "e;In Monarch, Robert Lacey makes you feel like you're right therein the palace, in the castle...I was absolutely riveted."e; Dominick Dunne Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsorwho became Elizabeth II, Queen of England on February 6, 1952has been loved and loathed, revered and feared, applauded and criticized by her people. Still she remained a captivating figure in the British monarchy for over seventy years. In Monarch, a meticulously detailed portrait of Elizabeth II as both a human being and an institution, bestselling author Robert Lacey brings the queen to life as never before: as baby "e;Lilibet"e; learning to wave to a crowd in the Royal Mews; as a child "e;ardently praying for a brother"e; so as to avoid her fate; as a young woman falling in love with and marrying her cousin Philip; and as the mother-in-law of the most complicated royal of all, Princess Diana. Featuring dozens of photographs, a family tree of the Hanoverian-Windsor-Mountbatten families, and a map that charts the location of royal castlesMonarch is an engaging, critical, and celebratory account of Elizabeth's reign that no reader of popular history should be without.
