Queen Elizabeth II
On the 6th February 1952, at the age of only 25, Princess Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and head of Commonwealth. In the thirty-old years since then, the Queen has worked tirelessly, at home and overseas, and has established herlself as a monarch held in genuine admiration and affection. In this new and revealing biography, Tomes journalist Alan Hamilton not only chronicles the major events of her reign-her accession and coronation, the birth of her four children, the jubilee, the marriage of Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer-but also shares unique personal glimpses into the Queen's childhood, her home and family life, and her personality. The result is a warm and engaging portrait of one of the best-known women in the world, who has lived a full and active life in the glare of public interest and scrutiny.
