Her Majesty
Throughout history, there has been no Monarch like her. She is not merely the oldest Sovereign England has ever known, she is the most worldly. She has travelled further than all her predecessors put together and has met more historic figures than anyone alive -- from Churchill to Mandela, de Gaulle, Reagan and Obama. Today, Queen Elizabeth II sits at the head of a hereditary institution so often associated with rigid tradition, and yet, has managed to remain, simultaneously, popular, regal, inclusive and relevant in a 21st Century world. As she reaches a defining moment of her reign â her Diamond Jubilee â Robert Hardman explores the secrets of the Queen's success to produce a fascinating new portrait of a Sovereign who has witnessed more change than any since the creation of Great Britain.
