ELIZABETH THE QUEEN
Inside the Life of a Modern Monarch
A revelatory and compulsively readable biography of Queen Elizabeth II to coincide with Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee in 2012.
Known for her extensively researched and deeply engaging portraits of public figures from the Clintons to the Kennedys to Princess Diana, Sally Bedell Smith now explores the public and private lives of the most prominent monarch of our time, offering fresh insights into how the Queen, who ascended to the throne in 1952 at the age of 26, balances her duties as head of state with her myriad family relationships her husband of over six decades, Prince Philip, her four headline-grabbing children, her vivacious and strong-minded mother, her tempestuous sister, and her grandchildren. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with the Queen's friends, family, advisers, peers, politicians, clerics, and generals; previously unexamined archives; and original reporting on the Queen at work in Britain and abroad, Sally Bedell Smith shows us Elizabeth the daughter, the wife, the mother; the diplomat and the leader: Elizabeth the Queen. Sally Bedell Smith is the author of the bestselling biographies of William S. Paley, Pamela Harriman, Diana, Princess of Wales, John and Jacqueline Kennedy (Grace and Power) and Bill and Hillary Clinton (For the Love of Politics). A contributing editor at Vanity Fair since 1996, she previously worked at Time and the New York Times, where she was a cultural news reporter. She was awarded a Sigma Delta Chi Distinguished Service Award for magazine reporting in 1982 and was a fellow at the Freedom Forum Media Studies Center in 1986.
