By command of the queen, you are hereby directed to be present at . . .

There’s a lot to get done ahead of the queen’s coronation – and even more so when your livelihood is at stake.

Lucy Jones is Junior Wardrobe Assistant to the queen, but dreams of being a singer. Caroline Brimstone loves her role as the queen’s Assistant Dresser, but behind closed doors fights for a better life for herself and her daughter. Meanwhile, Miranda Miller, an undercover journalist in the Coronation Office’s planning committee, needs an inside scoop to keep her job – the only thing she has left.

They are all running away from their own demons but, in order to succeed, they must shed their feelings of shame, trust themselves and reclaim their lives.

As Queen Elizabeth II takes the throne, will these three women also be able to take their rightful places in the world?

The Queen's Coronation is an unforgettable tale of female resilience, friendship and having the courage to seize your future.
