This novel was rather bizarre for me, so unlike the most popular review in the list the ending made it better for me.

I enjoyed the book Elizabeth and Margaret by this author so when I was able to get an ARC for this book I was excited. I have read several books, fiction and nonfiction, about the Queen's early life so I did not really learn anything new in the first half of this book. When I finally made it to the 1980s and beyond I could not put it down because I was actually alive for the stuff that happened then and I remember it. I did tear up while reading the last chapter just because I know she died and reading about her being a grandmother and great-grandmother just put a smile on my face. She was raised to not show any emotions but in her older age she seemed to loosen up a little with the young kids at least. It was a very fair and honest look at her reign and her life and her mistakes as well as her many triumphs

The Queen is our central character and she is called the Queen all through, though her family are swiftly just Margaret, Anne, Charles etc. and Princess Diana features too. Harry and William are, like a corgi, swiftly off behaving like young hooligans with the other hooligans. Anne befriends someone who asks to keep his horse in her garden, while Charles is delighted to do some gardening. Poor Philip becomes extremely depressed and the QM drifts off to a past world of memories. Our heroine the Queen has to learn how to open cans, feed her family and fit into a tiny council house, but we see her persevere and adapt, taking in her stride the full spread of life from births to death.

The latest barrage of truth bombs from Harry and Meghan's 'mouthpiece': Every claim from sneak peek of Omid Scobie's new book Cons: The writing is very dense. Long sentences in even longer paragraphs, coupled with a formal writing style, sometimes made it a bit difficult to get through at times. Although Dennison includes many interesting details, I didn't need to know about every portrait that the Queen has sat for in her life. Also, maybe it's just my bias and being interested in the events that have taken place during my lifetime, but it felt like the last 40 years or so were kind of rushed through. There is quite a bit about Princess Diana, but I wanted more detail and analysis of how major social, technological, and family changes have affected her reign in more recent years. urn:oclc:869827479 Scandate 20091210050227 Scanner scribe1.sfdowntown.archive.org Scanningcenter sfdowntown Worldcat (source edition)Inside Brad Pitt's HQ of broken dreams in New Orleans: Hollywood star's nonprofit office in shambles following years of legal battles During her exceptionally busy Golden Jubilee year, The Queen thanked her family for their support, saying: While Townsend's Royal family are caricatures perhaps inspired by Spitting Image yet they are sympathetically and skilfully drawn.

The satirical characterisations are much more important than the plot which is just as well as there isn't really one apart from the politicians plans to sort out the mess that the country has become.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex famously told US TV host Oprah Winfrey that an unnamed member of the Royal Family had questioned what skin colour their son Archie, at the time not yet born, was likely to have. Scobie, who wrote a biography of the couple Finding Freedom in 2020, unveiled the cover of his latest project this month, calling it 'a penetrating investigation into the current state of the British monarchy'.
