| Summary |
"For 70 years, Queen Elizabeth II showed an unwavering commitment to her country, and she will be remembered as not only Britain’s most beloved and longest-reigning monarch, but as a symbol of pride and inspiration everywhere. This book reflects on Elizabeth’s remarkable story, and looks at her years as princess, her war-time service, her Coronation, and her role as Queen both at home and across the world. Each page of this charming book will introduce young readers to something new and exciting about the Queen, from her love of horses to the palaces and castles she lived in. It will tell them about her relatives - the princes, princesses, dukes and duchesses that make up her family, making this a wonderful celebration of modern British history. Queen Elizabeth II and her Family has been revised to include 12 new pages that capture recent key events like the birth of Prince Louis, the Platinum Jubilee in 2022, and the Queen’s State funeral. With full-color photographs to complement the simple, age-appropriate text, this is simply the perfect gift to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II."--Amazon. |
