The Queen: The incredible life of Elizabeth II
by Ana Polo Alonso
Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom: THE QUEEN in capital letters.
Although she has probably been the most famous woman in the world and her life has been brought to the screen – most recently in the successful series The Crown – the true story of Elizabeth II has not always been well explained. Quite the opposite.

Ana Polo passionately tells the story of a woman who was not born to reign and whose life should have been unremarkable, but who ended up on the throne and, for decades, was in charge of defending the Crown, a task that was not always easy. From her upbringing and life as a princess to World War II, from her wedding to a second-rate prince hated by the court to the Diana tragedy, from her children’s scandals to her most recent grandchildren, this book details a life as fascinating as it is unique of an unrepeatable woman and the symbol of an entire era.
