Format:Hardcover
One of the best books on the British Royal Family and on Queen Elizabeth in particular.
Reading this book one can see that Mr. Davies is quite knowledgeable and has done his homework where researching the subject is concerned.
Queen Elizabeth may not be easily amused - and she has every right not to be - but I certainly was highly amused and entertained.

HM may not be amused but I sure was!
9 Jan 1999
Format:Paperback
Ever since I can remember I have been fascinated by the British Royal family; watching the weddings of both the Waleses and the Yorks, reading Majesty magazine each month, etc. I bought this book to find out more about the Queen and Prince Phillip. I finished this book within two days and still find myself drawn to it. The depth that the author reaches, describing the Queen's marriage, family, responsibilities, daily life - it is all covered with a thoroughness that makes the reader feel as though they knew Her Majesty personally. Undoubtedly there are other books available that detail Queen Elizabeth II's life, but this one will stand out due to it's ability to draw the reader into the world of this remarkable monarch.

I wouldn't be amused either!
31 Mar 2000
Format:Hardcover
Three years ago, I added this book to my too-large collection of books about the Royal Family. I started re-reading it this week when looking up something about her disinterest in clothes while reading the reports of her visit to Australia. Whoever is doing her hats now should be drawn and quartered!
This is an enjoyable book and I can only feel a bit sorry for the Queen. For all of her worldly possessions, she leads a rather dreadful life. Smiling, looking interested, holding flowers, etc. must almost drive her out of her mind! She does a good job of it, though, and for that I give her credit. It's a good show. I've been watching it for over 40 years!
