But when her uncle, King Edward VIII, abdicated, she became heir to the throne--embarking on a journey that would test her as a woman and queen. Ascending to the throne at only 25, this self-effacing monarch navigated endless setbacks, family conflict, and occasional triumphs throughout her 70 years as the Queen of England. As her mettle was tested, she endeavored to keep the monarchy relevant culturally, socially, and politically, often in the face of resistance from inside the institution itself. And yet the greatest challenges she faced were often inside her own family, forever under intense scrutiny; from rumors about her husband's infidelity, her sister's marital breakdown, Princess Diana's tragic death, to the recent departure of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Now in The Queen, renowned biographer Andrew Morton takes an in-depth look at Britain's longest reigning monarch, exploring the influence Queen Elizabeth had on both Britain and the rest of the world for much of the last century. From leading a nation struggling to restore itself after the devastation of the second World War to navigating the divisive political landscape of the present day, Queen Elizabeth was a reluctant but resolute queen. This is the story of a woman of unflagging self-discipline who will long be remembered as mother and grandmother to Great Britain, and one of the greatest sovereigns of the modern era"--. $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Elizabeth $b II, $c Queen of Great Britain, $d 1926-2022. $0 (DLC)n 80126296 600 30 $a Windsor, House of. $0 (DLC)sh 85146960 648 7 $a 1952-2022 $2 fast 650 0 $a Monarchy $0 (DLC)sh 85086679 650 0 $a Biography $0 (DLC)sh 85014152 650 0 $a Queens $0 (DLC)sh 85109802 650 0 $a Kings and rulers $0 (DLC)sh 85072413 650 0 $a History $0 (DLC)sh 85061212 650 7 $a Large print $2 local $0 (local)tlcaut2006084287205800 651 0 $a Great Britain $0 (DLC)n 79023147 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 $2 lcgft 655 7 $a History. $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 $2 tlcgt 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print biographies and memoirs. $0 (local)tmpaut6023831860580800 941 $a 9 945 $a lpt 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025007.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230902011041.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20230801010813.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20230721010308.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230512010601.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230411012711.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230405013403.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20230404012025.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20230329010103.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=03BB97CCCDF711ED9469B9D436ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b QW8Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
