À propos de cet audio

On the occasion of the 90th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II, respected royal broadcaster Jennie Bond explores the life of the longest reigning British monarch.

Born a minor royal, Elizabeth is now the most recognisable woman in the world. Admired by many, she has reigned through a period of unprecedented change, keeping the monarchy strong and consistent despite the end of empire, public scandals and private loss.

This newly written history uses actors and eyewitness observation to bring to life the story of this most remarkable woman.

When you add Elizabeth II: Life of a Monarch to your library you will receive all 8 episodes, each with a runtime of approximately 30 minutes.

I like to think that I am a bit of a monarchy buff, but there were some details of the Queen's life that I had no idea of!

Very informative

Ruth Cowen has gone beyond usual surveys of the Queen's life with commentary that is crisp and pleasant. Highly recommend.

Refreshingly Insightful

actually I really loved it and I didn't think I would. I've never been that interested in monarchy but it was free so I tried it. I've always thought that monarchies are antiquated and far too elitist. while they are that, can see why the institution still exists.

fascinating and well written.

Was hoping for more "inside" revelations but nothing big that hadn't already been in the "news." Still a good summary of the "official story."

Quite Right Then

It was a nice rounded overview of the topic that I had little knowledge of except in passing conversations with my grandmother. Not too much and yet filed in nicely. I would really enjoy learning more about this amazing woman in my future studies.

Enjoyable

I very much enjoyed this 8-part series. Well narrated with a bit of wry humour and wit!

The whole series is marvellous!
