With the flair for narrative and the meticulous research that
readers have come to expect, in The Diamond Queen Andrew Marr turns
his attention to the monarch - and to the monarchy, chronicling the
Queen's pivotal role at the centre of the state, which is largely
hidden from the public gaze, and making a strong case for the
institution itself. Arranged thematically, rather than
chronologically, Marr dissects the Queen's political relationships,
crucially those with her Prime Ministers; he examines her role as
Head of the Commonwealth, and her deep commitment to that
Commonwealth of nations; he looks at the drastic changes in the
media since her accession in 1952 and how the monarchy - and the
monarch - have had to change and adapt as a result. Indeed he
argues that under her watchful eye, the monarchy has been
thoroughly modernized and made as fit for purpose in the
twenty-first century as it was when she came to the throne and a
'new Elizabethan age' was ushered in.
