This gem of a book beautifully encapsulates the life of one of history’s most iconic royals.\u003c\/em\u003e’\u003c\/strong\u003e - Barbara Bush\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt age 25, Elizabeth II became Britain’s fortieth monarch and vowed to dedicate her life to service and duty on behalf of her country.\u003c\/strong\u003e Upon her death, aged 96, she certainly had achieved that. She was the constitutional monarch of fifteen sovereign states, head of the fifty-six member Commonwealth of Nations, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, and Head of the Armed Forces. Most notably, however, on 9 September 2015, she became the longest reigning monarch in British history and for a time was the oldest serving sovereign in the world. She consistently adapted in order to remain relevant, while devotedly upholding the age-old traditions of the monarchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough there have only been six British female monarchs, it cannot be denied that some of the most enlightened times in history have occurred during periods of queenship. Elizabeth I led the country through the Golden Age and Victoria ushered in the Industrial Revolution, but it is Elizabeth II who has left the most illustrious and progressive legacy of all: a true icon of modern monarchy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The History Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56107909677400,"sku":"9781837051830","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781837051830.jpg?v=1780423222","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/queen-elizabeth-ii-10","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
