520    On 9 September 2015, Queen Elizabeth II will become the 
       longest-serving monarch in British history. During her 63 
       years on the throne, few have got to know her well, but 
       there is one body of work that sheds new light on her 
       thoughts, personality and the issues that really concern 
       her: the Queen's own speeches. For many years, the Queen's
       Christmas address was the most-watched programme on 
       television on Christmas Day, and millions still tune in to
       hear what she has to say. Now, in this wonderful, intimate
       portrait of Her Majesty, Ingrid Seward uses the Queen's 
       speeches as a starting point to provide a revealing 
       insight into the character of the woman who has reigned 
       over us since the days when Churchill was prime minister. 
       Starting with her first ever broadcast, in December 1940, 
       when the teenaged Princess Elizabeth addressed a wartorn 
       nation, right through the annus horribilis, and on into 
       the 21st century, the book highlights the most important 
       moments in her life and how she has responded to them. 
       Based on in-depth research and interviews with many of 
       those who know the Queen best, this book sheds new light 
       on the life and career of our monarch. Renowned as one of 
       the most authoritative writers on royal matters, Ingrid 
       Seward, the editor of Majesty magazine, has written a 
       charming and fascinating portrait that will be cherished 
       by all who read it.
