A Sunday Times Book of the Year Queen Of Our Times is the
definitive biography of Queen Elizabeth II by one of Britain’s
leading royal authorities, Robert Hardman. This commemorative
edition includes an epilogue reflecting upon Her Majesty’s
Platinum Jubilee, her passing and her funeral. 'Sensational' –
Kirsty Young, The Platinum Pageant (BBC) With fascinating
revelations from those who knew her best and special access to
unseen royal papers granted by Elizabeth II herself, author and
royal expert Robert Hardman explores the full, astonishing life of
our longest reigning monarch in this authoritative yet intimate
biography. The book also charts the way in which the Queen raised
the future King Charles III as both son and heir. Elizabeth was not
born to be queen, being third in line to the throne. Yet from her
accession as a young mother of two in 1952 to the age of Covid-19,
she proved an astute and quietly determined figure, leading her
family and her people through more than seventy years of
unprecedented social change. She faced constitutional crises,
confronted threats against her life, unified the Commonwealth, saw
fifteen British prime ministers come and go, charmed world leaders,
and steered her family through a lifetime in the public eye. Her
Platinum Jubilee was celebrated in June 2022 and her death mourned
months later, both events a reminder of the huge impact she had
made. Queen of Our Times is a must-read study of dynastic survival
and renewal, spanning abdication, war, romance, danger and tragedy.
It is a compelling portrait of a leader whose legacy of steadfast
service lives on.
