About this listen

Love history? Know your stuff with History in an Hour.

Elizabeth II is the longest lived and, after Queen Victoria, second longest reigning monarch of the United Kingdom. From her coronation in 1953 to her Diamond Jubilee in 2012, Queen Elizabeth II has stood on the world stage as the figurehead for Britain.

The Queen: History in an Hour tells the story of the Queen Elizabeth II’s life and long reign, her royal duties, service during the Second World War, public perception and the transformation of the British Empire into the Commonwealth of Nations under her rule. In the Diamond Jubilee year this is essential reading for Royalists and Republicans alike.

I learned a lot (probably more than I had bargained for) about the history and lineage of Great Britain’s Royal Family. I was amazed to learn about the family tree which traces back hundreds of years to the Russian Czars and German Royalty and also to the many indiscretions throughout the years involving just about everyone.

Good reading and with the ‘Ol Queen getting up there in age now, it’s good to be able to read about a lot of the historical events that she has personally witnessed.
