ABOUT CHARLES III's CORONATION A personal account of the life and
character of Britain's longest-reigning monarch, from the writer

long-serving senior royals' THE TIMES 'The book overflows with
nuggets of insider knowledge' TELEGRAPH Paints a unique picture of
the remarkable woman who reigned for seven decades. Fascinating
insights' HELLO! __________ Gyles Brandreth first met the Queen in
1968, when he was twenty. Over the next fifty years he met her many
times, both at public and at private events. Through his friendship
with the Duke of Edinburgh, he was given privileged access to
Elizabeth II. He kept a record of all those encounters, and his
conversations with the Queen over the years, his meetings with her
family and friends, and his observations of her at close quarters
are what make this very personal account of her extraordinary life
uniquely fascinating. From her childhood in the 1920s to the era of
Harry and Meghan in the 2020s, from her war years at Windsor Castle
to her death at Balmoral, this is both a record of a tumultuous
century of royal history and a truly intimate portrait of a
remarkable woman. Enjoy this special edition now featuring new
material about King Charles III's Coronation with photographs.
