Only twenty-five when she became Queen after the premature death of her father, King George VI, Elizabeth has become the stuff of superlatives: the longest reigning, most travelled, and the Queen who has shaken more hands and made more small talk than any other monarch in history. but her sovereignty has not been without personal anguish and controversy. Divorce-and the fallout from it- has shaped her reign. Her private life has been moulded by an irascible husband, an extravagant mother, a querulous heir and a shamed second son. She has refereed a war between two of her grandsons, William and Harry, once inseparable friends. As she celebrates her Platinum Jubilee, the first British monarch to reign for seventy years, she has, during a one-in-a-lifetime pandemic, become the reassuring face of hope and optimism, the grandmother to the nation.
