Only twenty-five when she became Queen after the premature death of her father, King George Vl, Elizabeth has become the stuff of superlatives: the longest reigning, most travelled and, for a shy woman, the Queen who has shaken more hands and made more small talk than any other monarch in history.

I reali sono stati un fascino di molti e questo libro sarebbe un grande ricordo per qualsiasi fan o seguace della monarchia.
