Reviews"Deliciously detailed, sometimes gossipy, often moving, this in-depth examination of royal siblings is sure to be in demand."-- Booklist, "Morton uses archival research and his relationships with palace insiders to paint a complete written portrait of Britain's longest reigning monarch . . . Morton also unpacks some buzzier tidbits including rumors about her husband's infidelity, her sister's tumultuous marriage, Princess Diana's death, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's high profile exit from the royal fam."-- The Skimm, Praise for Elizabeth & Margaret : "The king of royal tea...Morton provides rich context on the coldness of royal life...Margaret's tale is revelatory."-- New York Times, "Incisive character sketches and a touch of gossip make this admiring biography go down smooth."-- Publishers Weekly, "Morton's insightful analysis of the complex relationship between Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret succeeds in humanizing two extremely public figures and the myths surrounding them. It will engage history buffs, biography readers, and especially fans of The Crown ."-- Library Journal, "A diligent and well-researched job, examining the closeness of the sisters and their conflicted relationship in a seamless, readable way."-- Wall Street Journal, "It's hard to come away from this book without feeling some affection for [the queen]--regardless of your views on the monarchy."-- Star Tribune

Synopsis#1 New York Times bestselling biographer Andrew Morton provides the definitive, most comprehensive account of Queen Elizabeth II's legendary reign. Painfully shy, Elizabeth Windsor's personality was well suited to her youthful ambition of living quietly in the country, raising a family, and caring for her dogs and horses. But when her uncle, King Edward VIII, abdicated, she became heir to the throne--embarking on a journey that would test her as a woman and queen. Ascending to the throne at only 25, this self-effacing monarch navigated endless setbacks, family conflict, and occasional triumphs throughout her 70 years as the Queen of England. As her mettle was tested, she endeavored to keep the monarchy relevant culturally, socially, and politically, often in the face of resistance from inside the institution itself. And yet the greatest challenges she faced were often inside her own family, forever under intense scrutiny; from rumors about her husband's infidelity, her sister's marital breakdown, Princess Diana's tragic death, to the recent departure of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Now in The Queen , renowned biographer Andrew Morton takes an in-depth look at Britain's longest reigning monarch, exploring the influence Queen Elizabeth had on both Britain and the rest of the world for much of the last century. From leading a nation struggling to restore itself after the devastation of the second World War to navigating the divisive political landscape of the present day, Queen Elizabeth was a reluctant but resolute queen. This is the story of a woman of unflagging self-discipline who will long be remembered as mother and grandmother to Great Britain, and one of the greatest sovereigns of the modern era.
