'What a fabulous book - a must for any royal watcher! It's elegant,
stylish and gloriously illustrated. I didn't want it to end. I
loved the original and innovative approach to the subject, and the
new insights I gained. I cannot recommend it highly enough.' Alison
Weir One of the Independent's 'best books to give this Christmas'.
A lavishly illustrated celebration of the 70-year reign of Queen
Elizabeth II and the British Royal Family from the unrivalled
archive of British Vogue. 'Vogue, like the royal family, has been
through many evolutions of its own, and to view Her Majesty's life
though the record of our pages is truly a document of history.' -
Edward Enninful, Editor-in-Chief of British Vogue Four monarchs
(crowned and uncrowned); one abdication; one royal investiture; a
jewel box of jubilees and many, many royal marriages... British
Vogue has borne witness to a century of royal history. The Crown in
Vogue is the magazine's 'special royal salute' to our longest
serving monarch and her 'assured and unwavering' presence in the
lives of a nation. Vogue's first star photographer, Cecil Beaton,
was entranced by the House of Windsor and the admiration was
mutual. A younger star photographer, Antony Armstrong Jones, left
Vogue to marry the Queen's sister and returned as Lord Snowdon. The
Queen's cousin, Vogue's Lord Lichfield proved an insightful
photographer of royal style along with many of Vogue's fashion
photographers including Horst, Norman Parkinson and David Bailey.
With visual treasures from Vogue's unrivalled archive and
contributions through the decades from the most perceptive of royal
commentators - from Evelyn Waugh to Zadie Smith - The Crown in
Vogue is the definitive, authoritative portrait of Queen Elizabeth
II's magnificent reign - and of royalty in the modern age.
