I always felt a small connection to Queen Elizabeth II., because she was the only 'celebrity' I knew that shared my birthday. My other classmates could say that they have their birthday together with Madonna, one from New Kids on the Block or Vanilla Ice. One of my classmates was especially proud that he was born on the exact date Elvis Presley died. And me? When someone asked me about my birthday I always said: one day after H*tler, one day before Lenin and together with the British Queen.As long as I 'know' her, she is an old lady with a hat, that seldomly smiles and is even rarely waving on the pictures. So reading about the first 26 years of her life should be quite informative. I've seen "The King's Speech", thus I knew a bit about her father and mother, and of course also why he became King in the first place. But that's about it.This biography even tells the story of Queen Elizabeth II. mother's birth and how she became the wife of Prince Albert.You learn about major events in their lives, and what they wore on that occasion. You come to know which presents Princess Elizabeth received for birthdays and christmas (and where this was celebrated), which subjects she was taught in, what duties and appointments she had to keep when she became Heiress Presumptive and which speeches she gave. And what fun it was to celebrate the ending of World War II, when she was allowed to mingle with the cheering crowd 'incognito' roaming the streets of London.You hear the names of countless of relatives and/or people working for the Royals. That is sometimes a bit confusing and I constantly checked Wikipedia to read more about who is the child of whom and how are they related to Elizabeth. I did know that Elizabeth and Prince Philip are related, thanks to the 'grandmother of Europe' Queen Victoria. And after reading this book is makes perfectly sense that Elizabeth chose as a husband someone she and her family knew practically since she was born. Where else should she meet a suitable man, since she has no normal social life like her peers.Since the brief description of the books starts with Elizabeth's love for Philip, I taught that this books will give a real inside into how they were courting. But although we follow both of their lives very closely, you learn next to nothing about their blooming relationship. Philips visits to the Royal family are stated, as well as the fact that he exchanged letters with Elizabeth and also her mother, who was then the Queen. And then at one point they somehow agreed that they were now engaged. But we don't 'witness' the actual engagement nor any single courting or even date. Probably because the sources of the author were not present themselves on those occasions, and I doubt that Elizabeth ever let someone have a peek into her personal love letters (but I'm sure she still keeps them somewhere, all the letters Philips must have written her while he was on a battleship fighting in World War II).Thus I do understand why such personal things are not included in this biography, but at the same time it therefore feels like a compilation of many many facts (and some of them quite interesting) but not as if I got to know Queen Elizabeth so much better now. You can read between the lines a bit, and even get a glimpse at her personality as a child and teenager. But I expected a bit more I guess. I would give the book a 3.5 star rating. Since it is really really lot of work to research so many many details, and I acknowledge this effort, I round it up to 4 stars.
Great book
Much has been written about Britain’s current queen, Elizabeth II. However, in the biography Princess, it tells the story of Elizabeth’s life before she became a queen. Queen Elizabeth was never meant to be a queen. Her father was the second son of George VI. It seemed as if her uncle Edward would marry and sire heirs. When he shocked the world by abdicating the throne for the woman he loved, Elizabeth suddenly found herself the center of attention as the heir presumptive. Elizabeth finds herself with responsibilities that she does not initially want. Princess paints Elizabeth to be reluctant to become the next queen of England. The biographer states that she would rather remain a country girl at heart. However, Elizabeth took her role as heir seriously. She is prepared to attend ceremonies and make speeches. Elizabeth is also portrayed as a no-nonsense woman and very protective of her sister, Margaret. I also found the relationship between Elizabeth and Prince Philip to be very fascinating. Elizabeth claims that Philip has been her rock throughout her life. This biography shows how supportive and steadfast Philip is to Elizabeth. Princess also emphasizes that he was a bit of prankster. This gives us a different glimpse of Philip whom most people view as stiff and rigid. Overall, Princess paints a very compelling portrait of the early years of Queen Elizabeth II. There were times when the biography diverted from the subject and went on tangents on other people such as Prince Philip’s girlfriends. Sometimes, Princess took the gossip and tabloid route. For instance, it heavily focused on the Queen Mother being the daughter of a cook that was proposed in Lady Colin Campbell’s biography. It is obvious that the biographer believes in Lady Colin’s gossip. Therefore, I found this part of the Queen Mother’s past to be very irrelant and did not serve any purpose in Queen Elizabeth’s biography. Still, Princess is a very enlightening read for those who want to know more about the queen’s childhood.(Note: I read an ARC copy of this book in courtesy of Netgalley.)
A fascinating biography! The book begins with the death of her father and then reverts to the story of her parents’ courtship and marriage. It explains why the royal family, especially the Queen Mother, disliked the Duke of Windsor and blamed him for the early death of King George VI.Elizabeth was born to the line of royal succession but no one expected her to become Queen. She was raised to be a royal princess but most people expected her uncle, the Prince of Wales, to marry and have his own children. However the book details the interest that Queen Mary took in her grand-daughter’s education which makes the reader wonder if the Queen knew her son Edward better than most people and suspected that Elizabeth would one day be Queen.The book details her childhood, the courtship and marriage of Phillip and Elizabeth and her first years of motherhood. It also narrates the difficulties that she faced as a wife whose husband was deployed, as a mother whose children were not allowed to travel with her, and as a daughter who frequently had to represent her father in affairs of state.The book is well written and concise but does contain enough details and footnotes to keep the reader interested. I do hope that Jane Dismore is already writing the next volume because she only covers the first 25 years of Elizabeth II’s life.Many thanks to NetGalley and Thistle Publishing for sending me the ARC of this exceptional biography.
Thank you to the publisher and to Net Galley for this advance reading copy. My review opinions are my own. I loved this exemplary well researched account of the early years of Queen Elizabeth to when she became Queen. The author has listed sources here for the reader that is interested in reading further about her life. This is a wonderful journey for the reader of all things royal. For the worlds greatest leader had a fascinating story to her upbringing that is detailed here. The book begins with her birth and ends with the death of her Father.The book documents how the Princess had a sheltered early life spent at the palaces and royal homes, with servants, horses and activities most can only dream of. Her family life was very loving and close among the most glamorous and wealthy upbringing. She had a close relationship with her Father who became King after the abdication of his brother. Elizabeth then became the most famous child in the world at only 10 years old and she seemed to grasp the enormity of her future. From that moment her history changed and she was destined to become Queen.The information here on WWII and Elizabeth's role is fascinating. The author has so well documented that time in history and the suffering of Britain that its very moving. I thank the author for bringing this critical time in her history to the reader in such a real way that is almost overwhelming in events as they unfolded.The book shares Elizabeth and Philip’s early married life and their courting love story. It ends with the death of her beloved Father. Her reign as Queen is for another book . One that I hope the author will write! This is a fascinating well researched enjoyable read about a remarkable Queen admired by the world . It is a enjoyable look back at a quite remarkable early life that helped create the leader she has been for over 50 years. Her standards , moral fiber and her strength is much gained from her early family life and the love of her family . I loved every aspect of this book and highly recommend it for all interested in royal history and the Queen.
