The Crown

When Elizabeth's father suddenly dies, all responsibility for the British Empire falls into her hands. Young Elizabeth already has so much to do with her two children, but now she has to learn how to be a queen. As Britain deals with the fallout of the war, a young woman must face her own problems while using all her skills and resources to ensure the stability of the British monarchy. It sounds like a gripping novel, but it is a biographical portrait of Britain's longest reigning monarch, Elizabeth II. In this book, royal biographer Robert Lacey details daily life inside Buckingham Palace and the Prime Minister's mansion at No. 10. Text copyright © Robert Lacey, 2017.
