Elizabeth II

In this brilliantly written biography, Thomas Kielinger tells the story of what shaped the young princess, how she became a media celebrity when she was just a child, and how she refused to be separated from her young love Prince Philip. Since ascending to the throne, she has lived through fourteen prime ministers as well as innumerable heads of state and government from other countries. Her unparalleled wealth of experience is what has helped her to keep the Commonwealth of former colonies together. She has guided her family through the biggest real-life soap opera of our time and – last but not least – she has reconsolidated the monarchy in the present. Today there is hardly any other public figure who has been able to enjoy such great respect as Her Majesty the Queen.
