Forlorn. Fully conscious of the fact that she was Queen, and that she must tend to affairs immediately, but at the same time carrying the load of this new, awful news. A brave person. Gosh! If I loved her before, boy did I love her after that!'Queen Elizabeth II: The Oral History paints a spirited, detailed and global portrait of a life lived in service.

Asking questions about conflict and change and the Monarchy's journey as colonial institution, this is a revealing view into the workings of Buckingham Palace and the strengths and weaknesses of the Royal Family.Containing a broad spectrum of views on Queen Elizabeth II - from her role as leader of the Commonwealth to her personality in private - this is an extraordinary insight the ways in which the reign of the monarch has intersected and impacted on others around the world.
