An affectionately imagined, candid, and often funny view of
British life, in the voice of the Queen
For many years, Her Majesty the Queen has received a weekly
report on the news and issues of the day, known at the Palace as
"The Current Affairs Briefing Document," from one of her senior
private secretaries. She has replied to them in letters which have
expressed her private thoughts, and occasionally questions, about
what is happening in the world outside. Now she has decided to
allow some of these letters from the last 12 months to appear in
the public domain. They reveal for the first time what she really
thinks about attitudes to the Royal Family, about the Prime
Ministers she has met, about Helen Mirren, about why dogs are so
superior to cats, about the great, the good, and the mysteriously
famous people she meets as she goes about her duties. She shares
what it is really like to jump out of a helicopter to open the
Olympics, how to deal with a media obsessed with taking pictures of
one's grandchildren without their clothes and, and the happy
prospect of being a great-grandmother.
