A #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
When her uncle, King Edward VIII, abdicated, Elizabeth Windsor became heir to the throne. Ascending to the throne at only 25, this self-effacing monarch navigated setbacks, family conflict, and occasional triumphs throughout her 70 years as the Queen of England. Now in The Queen, renowned biographer Andrew Morton takes an in-depth look at the influence Queen Elizabeth had on both Britain and the rest of the world for much of the last century. 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.
