A wonderful bio of Elizabeth, who celebrates her diamond jubilee on the throne this year. It was packed full of information, all of it interesting.
Some things to note:
1. The Queen loves to laugh and, like her mother, delights in surprises.
2. There is a very close family there, although she never interferes in their lives with advice - she just accepts and carries on.
3. Diana and Elizabeth got on well - Diana called her "Mum".
4. Diana knew how to manipulate the press for her own need of attention.
5. Elizabeth and Phillip have a very strong marriage and there's never been any affairs or such.
6. She was really quite beautiful - and tiny- as a young person.
7. She is tremendously well read in history and politics and works every day on "boxes" which come to her filled with information. She studiously reads these and is always prepared when the Prime Minister comes to visit.
8. She has never commented on any political situation in such a way as to show her own opinion.
9. She keeps active physically and walks miles every day.
10. She just seems like a person I'd like to have known.
