elling prose, this special edition celebrates her extraordinary life. From her childhood years as young “Lilibet'' through World War II, when then Princess Elizabeth helped repair army trucks and stood with Winston Churchill on the balcony of Buckingham Palace on V-E Day, the queen’s formative years are explored. So, of course, is her loving marriage to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, which itself spanned more than seven decades. From the time of her historic coronation in 1952, she traveled the expansive Commonwealth as Queen Elizabeth II, exuding grace, charm, and stateliness. She won admirers across the world, and at home she welcomed four children, including her heir, Charles. All the while she embraced her role with a passion that never waned: She stayed active and involved until near the very end of her life. In all, this exceptional volume delivers a story of grandeur and intimacy, taking readers inside Buckingham Palace and into the queen’s heart.
