the Queen
Elizabeth II was not born to be queen. She came into the world
on April 21, 1926, the equivalent of the modern Princess Beatrice,
first-born daughter of the Duke of York, destined to flutter on the
royal fringe. So while Lilibet was brought up with almost religious
respect for the crown, there seemed no chance of her inheriting it.
Her head was never turned by the personal prospect of
grandeur--which is why she would prove so very good at her job.
Elizabeth II's lack of ego was to prove the paradoxical secret of
her greatness.
For more than thirty years, acclaimed author and royal
biographer Robert Lacey has been gathering material from members of
the Queen's inner circle--her friends, relatives, private
secretaries, and prime ministers. Now, in The Queen, Lacey offers a
life of the celebrated monarch, told in six succinct chapters,
accentuated by elegant color and black-and-white photographs that
capture the distinctive flavor of passing eras and reveal how
Elizabeth II adapted--or, on occasions, regally declined to
adapt--to changing times.
