Born when Queen Victoria was still on the throne, the Queen Mother married into the Royal Family in 1923, and has earned a place in the British nation's heart. This book offers a tribute to the Queen Mother.
Clive Irving skilfully probes the issue of the British monarchy's longevity and its undulating popularity with forensic insight.
This is the story not only of the head of a dynasty, but also a history of our times.
A biography that seeks to unravel the reality from the myths to ask the pertinent question: how long will the institution survive beyond the reign of the current Queen?
