Author: Irving, Clive

Condition: New

A timely and revelatory new biography of Queen Elizabeth (and her family) exploring how the Windsors have evolved and thrived, as the modern world has changed around them.Clive Irvings stunning new narrative biography The Last Queen probes the question of the British monarchys longevity. In 2021, the Queen Elizabeth II finally appears to be at ease in the modern world, helped by the new generation of Windsors. But through Irvings unique insight there emerges a more fragile institution, whose extraordinarily dutiful matriarch has managed to persevere with dignity, yet in doing so made a Faustian pact with the media.The Last Queen is not a conventional biography-and the book is therefore not limited by the traditions of that genre. Instead, it follows Elizabeth and her familys struggle to survive in the face of unprecedented changes in our attitudes towards the royal family, with the critical eye of an investigative reporter who is present and involved on a highly personal level.
