'I get enormously impressed when she walks into a room,' Princess
Margaret once said of her sister. 'It's a kind of magic.' Prince
William recalled, 'As I learned growing up, you don't mess with
your grandmother. What she says goes.' In the year of the Queen's
Platinum Jubilee, royal biographer Ian Lloyd reveals the woman
behind the legend over 70 themed chapters. Drawing on interviews
with relatives, friends and courtiers, he explores her relationship
with seven generations of the royal family, from the children of
Queen Victoria to Elizabeth's own great-grandchildren. He also
sheds light on some lesser-known aspects of her character, such as
her frugality and her gift for mimicry. In addition, we see her
encounters with A-listers, from Marilyn Monroe to Madonna, and her
adept handling of several of the twentieth century's most difficult
leaders. Above all, Lloyd examines how the Queen has stayed true to
the promise she made to the nation at the age of 21, 'that my whole
life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your
service'.
