Product Description
This remarkable biography, Elizabeth: Behind The Palace Doors, contains secrets about the royal family that have never been brought to the attention of the country she rules over. The lives of the Queen Prince Philp and their children are examined and exposed to reveal the Windsor family's history of adultery, passion, jealousy and mental cruilty. Also exposed are the dark secrets of the unbelievable relationship between Prince Philip and one of the Queen's own cousins. The book examine sthe mood, the ambitions and the forebodings of the Queen at the start of the new millennium. But more importantly, he gives us an insight into the reality of the relationship between the Queen and her husband, exposing the Queen as an indifferen perfunctory mother and prince Philip as a bullying, domineering father.

Format:Paperback
An incredibly revealing publication, and a must-have for any die-hard fan of the British monarchy. The truth surrounding the "annus horribilis" and the breakdowns of the marriages of three of the Queen's children is revealed. As a result, one is made to feel genuine sympathy for the woman behind the public image. A very worthwhile read!!!

This book is all about showing the Queen in a great light. The Queen is cast as the GOD and rest of the royal family, especially the outsiders are cast as the poor sad mortals who she looks down in dismay. All the outsiders those who marry into the Royal Family get all the blame for the various marriage break ups.

Don't bother!
27 Oct 2004
Format:Paperback
I bought this book hoping to learn more about the queen's life as she lives it away from the public. Instead I found a poorly written book filled with many untruths. After page 121 I sent the book to the resale shop.
Some of these huge errors are as follows.
1. That the Home Secretary has been present at every royal birth since the time of James II. Not true. George VI overuled this for the birth of Prince Charles.
2. That the Elizabeth and Phillip spent time at the home of the Duke and Dutchess of Kent in 1946, where the Duke and Dutchess understood their need to be alone. Yes, they did, but the Duke was no longer living. The then duke was a young boy.
3. That Elizabeth and Phillip's wedding night was Nov. 22. Their wedding date is Nov. 20. Huge error.
4.That Prince Charles was born on Nov. 12. He was born on Nov. 14. People from the UK writing such a book should know their dates.
5.That she had never ridden on the underground, made a bed or prepared tea or a meal. Again not true. She rode on the London tube in 1939 to have tea at the YMCA and during her time in Girl Guides did in fact make her bed, wash dishes and prepare meals with the other guides.
So save your money and buy a book about the queen that has been thoroughly researched and has all the facts straight.

This book doesn't even deserve a 1 star!

Format:Hardcover
I agree with the last reviewer (although it was a bit too late for me since I already recieved the book in the mail) and would like to add that I do not consider this a book...it is one huge tabloid!
