Still she remained a captivating figure in the British monarchy for over seventy years.In Monarch, a meticulously detailed portrait of Elizabeth II as both a human being and an institution, bestselling author Robert Lacey brings the queen to life as never before: as baby \"Lilibet\" learning to wave to a crowd in the Royal Mews; as a child \"ardently praying for a brother\" so as to avoid her fate; as a young woman falling in love with and marrying her cousin Philip; and as the mother-in-law of the most complicated royal of all, Princess Diana.Featuring dozens of photographs, a family tree of the Hanoverian-Windsor-Mountbatten families, and a map that charts the location of royal castles-Monarch is an engaging, critical, and celebratory account of Elizabeth's reign that no reader of popular history should be without.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51904555417888,"sku":"NEW0743236696","price":26.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71JiQaAj1BL.jpg?v=1782189127","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/monarch-the-life-and-reign-of-elizabeth-ii-0743236696","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
