Book excerpt: The hotly anticipated American edition of Robert Hardman's biography of Queen Elizabeth (formerly Our Queen in the U.K.)—An intimate portrait of England's soon-to-be longest reigning queen, in celebration of her diamond jubilee—and the first-ever book interview with her grandson, Prince William. History has known no monarch like her. She has traveled farther than all her predecessors put together and lived longer than any of them. She has known more historic figures than anyone alive—from Churchill to Mandela, de Gaulle to Obama. Now, the distinguished royal writer Robert Hardman has been granted special access to the world of Queen Elizabeth II to produce this enthralling new portrait of one of the most popular pubic figures on earth. Not only has Elizabeth II reigned through Britain’s transformation from an imperial power to a multi-cultural nation, but she has also steered the monarchy through more reforms in the last twenty-five years than in the previous century. Queen Elizabeth II sits at the head of an ancient institution that remains simultaneously popular, regal, inclusive, and relevant in a twenty-first-century world. It is down to neither luck nor longevity: it is down to the shrewd judgment of a thoroughly modern monarchy—with no small assistance from the longest-serving consort in history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tess Elliott returns with another short and enthralling portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, one of history's most compelling figures. Queen Elizabeth II is more than just a symbolic figurehead. She is the current monarch of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms. As the longest-serving monarch in British history, she has attempted to modernize and adapt her reign to a changing public while upholding cherished crown traditions. Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary had a peaceful childhood before becoming a military truck driver and mechanic during World War II. She married her distant cousin in 1947 and became Queen in 1952 at 27. Despite her royal family's share of tragedy and scandal, she has worked tirelessly to protect the monarchy's image and prepare for its future. The Queen celebrated her Sapphire Jubilee on February 6, 2017, making her the only British monarch to do so. It is clear from this recent, sophisticated biography of Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II that she has always been an inspiration for future generations. Readers can see what the Queen has helped keep together in the UK in a beautiful story full of historical retellings. Elizabeth II has been scrutinized in every way since she became Queen. But, despite the glitz and glam, how well do we know Britain's celebrated monarch? This book reveals her biography, legacy, intimate details about Queen Elizabeth's public and private lives; her sense of humor and duty; her long-lasting love for one man; her sometimes tumultuous relationship with another man, the Duke of Edinburgh; and her compassion for her family and people through triumphs and tragedies. With a better understanding of this extraordinary woman, who will reign for the longest time in history, we come to understand an iconic figure who stands as a symbol for global engagement. In the novel Elizabeth the Queen, we meet a young woman unexpectedly named "heiress presumptive" to the British throne. The young girl realizes she can do more for her country than a wealthy aristocrat or someone older. Hence, she marries a navy man who is as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside. This short book tells the profoundly human story of a woman who changed the world in ways no one else could. Despite being in her mid-90s, Queen Elizabeth II remained very active in her royal duties until her death.
