Purchase options and add-ons

Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's longest-serving monarch, Supreme Governor of the Church of England and the Head of the Commonwealth, has reigned for a record-breaking 76 years. What are the secrets of her success? How does she still approach her day-to-day with such vitality and aplomb, even when culture and society are changing rapidly all around her? The Queen on fame: When an MP commented that it must be a strain meeting so many strangers all the time, the Queen smiled, "It is not as difficult as it might seem. You see, I don't have to introduce myself. They all seem to know who I am." The Queen on fashion: In the late sixties when Mary Quant and the mini skirt came to epitomize all that was fashionable, Princess Anne suggested her mother might also consider shortening her hemline. The Queen was adamant, "I am not a film star." The Queen on family: "Marriage gains from the web of family relationships between parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, cousins, aunts and uncles." This book unpicks the key elements that make the Queen so beloved and presents a guide to how you too could put into practice some of Her Majesty's traits to help overcome adversity, find inner strength and present yourself as wonderfully considered and calm, even when all about you seems in chaos.

    This is suxh a delightful book. Pick it up anytime for a quick lift or longer read—with your tea and your marmalade sandwich, of course!. The Queen was privileged, to be sure. But she experienced the world and our times like no other. Handled death and disloyalty, was a mom and wife, and kept a steady course through most of it—setting an example for many. These quotes capture her essence pergectly!

    I really enjoyed this book & it arrived early and in excellent condition as well. The Queen takes her position very seriously and book shows ample evidence of that and the wonderful sense of humor she has and needs to handle everything that gets thrown at her. It must be nerve racking to have everyone so eager to judge & rip apart every expression and comment you make. It was interesting to see that as serious she is in her position she also doesn’t let that go to her head. She comes through as down to earth and very real while accepting her position in history. I really think my favorite part is her cover photo.

    Queen Elizabeth II’s Guide to Life is a delightful book fun of vignettes which give insight into the daily life of British royals. It will help you understand why they do what they do. Royals always seem so glamorous living their luxurious lives, but they really are very practical and down to earth. They understand they are servant leaders living of taxpayer money and are careful to be respectful of that wherever possible. If you enjoy books about royalty you will enjoy this book.

    I do have a complaint. The book is listed at 160 pages while my book as 192 pages. Strangely the books have the same ISBN. I wish someone would clear this up. I have asked and gotten no reply. Was the book expanded? Condensed and I have an earlier copy? This is messing with my Goodreads, which is owned by Amazon, page count. It would be nice if someone would explain this to me. Otherwise it is a great book. Enjoy it.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It has some of her positive and some did not work out too well as she met people and got into different situations. She learned a lot from her father though neither one was prepared for the position they found themselves in.
