Distinguished royal writer Robert Hardman, from the Daily Mail, was granted rare and privileged access to the world of Queen Elizabeth II to produce this enthralling portrait of one of the most popular public figures on Earth.
As this British monarch reaches a defining moment of her reign – her 60-year Diamond Jubilee – Hardman exposes the secrets of her success and provides a detailed look at both her private and professional lives.
Hardman has been writing about the British monarchy for more than 15 years, first as royal correspondent for The Daily Telegraph and now for the Daily Mail. He is the writer and associate producer of two popular BBC TV series, The Monarchy and The Queen's Castle.
