Ralph's Reviews > Monarch: The Life and Reign of Elizabeth II

This provides a detailed look into the life of Queen Elizabeth II that most people, I’m sure, were/are unaware of. The personal day-to-day duties and requirements of being the Monarch are clearly put forth. A highly recommended set of chapters tell how tradition and popular feelings came up against one another on the death of princess of Wales, Diana. Also, prior chapters set straight the complex life and eccentricities of Diana. The Queen had to deal with these as no other Monarch had had to do.

While these chapters provide insight to those particular situations earlier chapters are no less revealing and, perhaps, even more enlightening of how Queen Elizabeth has dealt with many other known and less known situations.

Read this book for a better understanding of the Queen which continues to evolve.
