Queen Elizabeth II is much more than just a symbolic leader. She is currently the monarch of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms, and as the longest-reigning British monarch in history, she has made an effort to modernize her rule and adapt to a changing populace while upholding beloved royal traditions. After a happy upbringing, Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary trained as a mechanic during World War I, wed a distant relative in 1947, and at the age of 27, became queen in 1952. She has devoted her life to maintaining the monarchy's reputation and laying the groundwork for its future, despite the fact that her royal family has seen its share of sorrow and scandal. This brief book recounts the profoundly personal tale of a woman who, unlike anyone else, transformed the world. Swipe up to purchase.
