Bringing us closer to the public and private life of the ruler we’ve known from a distance, this Personalised Queen Elizabeth II book contains original headlines as reported at the time. Covering her tour of the Commonwealth from 1953, and exclusive Trooping the Colour Celebrations, we follow iconic moments from the Queen’s Silver, Gold, Diamond and Platinum Jubilee and many more illustrious occasions.

Featuring in-depth content throughout Queen Elizabeth’s life, we look back on momentous periods like the birth of Queen Elizabeth’s four children, the fabulous House of Windsor, the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton, to events that brought tragic waves of sadness, including the passing of the beloved Queen Mother, the death of Princess Diana and a nation’s sadness at the death of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

As a symbol of stability for our country, Queen Elizabeth earned unwavering respect for her openness and unmatched grace towards the state and her family in the public eye. We have exclusively created an official pictorial addition, showcasing original photographs as a tribute to celebrate England’s longest-reigning sovereign.
