“So much of the Queen’s life and career was about the visuals. This luscious coffee-table book is packed with photograph after photograph of Elizabeth in her multiple roles: as happy-go-lucky princess, solemn heir to the throne, bride, impossibly young monarch and all the way through to her latter days as a grandmother to the world. Journalist Murphy supplies useful contextual notes, but the pictures are the stars. They tell us everything we need to know about exactly what we have lost.”
—Kathryn Hughes, The Guardian
“A visual delight, teeming with gorgeous photographs. Victoria Murphy studies every facet of Her Majesty’s legacy, creating a fascinating portrait of the Queen’s impressively long reign and the dedication she has brought to her duties. This beautiful book is a must-have for all royal lovers.”
—Elizabeth Holmes, New York Times bestselling author of HRH: So Many Thoughts on Royal Style
“Queen Elizabeth II from a refreshing new perspective. Victoria Murphy’s compelling portrait of Her Majesty – and her analysis of a life-long devotion to duty – is a fitting tribute to the monarch we think we know so well.”
—Joe Little, managing editor of Majesty Magazine
“Queen Elizabeth II once said, ‘I have to be seen to be believed.’ Well, here is Her Majesty in all her glory—and in delightful personal detail, too. Victoria Murphy has created an invaluable photographic tribute to Britain’s longest serving monarch and to her memorable reign.”
—Robert Lacey, historian and biographer
