Notes
Elizabeth II was not born to be queen. Yet from her accession as a young mother of two in 1952 to the age of Covid-19, she proved an astute and quietly determined figure, leading her family and her people through more than seventy years of unprecedented social change. With insights from those who knew her best, new interviews with world leaders and access to unseen papers, Robert Hardman explores the full, astonishing life of Britain's longest reigning monarch.
