Königin Elizabeth und Prinz Philip verkörpern die Monarchie schlechthin. Doch obwohl sie unter ständiger Beobachtung der Boulevardpresse stehen, ist wenig über das Paar bekannt. Gyles Brandreth war ein besonderer Zugang zum englischen Hof gestattet, er konnte das Herrscherpaar viele Monate begleiten und zahlreiche Mitglieder der königlichen Familie interviewen. Seine Doppelbiographie gewährt einen Einblick in das private Leben der Windsors. Elizabeth und Philip, beide Ur-Ur-Enkel der legendären Königin Victoria, kommen aus Elternhäusern, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten. Der griechische Prinz mit deutschen Wurzeln war bis zu seiner Heirat quasi heimatlos, verbrachte Kindheit und Jugend zwischen Paris, Darmstadt, Salem und Schottland. Dagegen steht die behütet aufgewachsene Elizabeth, die sich schon als Teenager in ihn verliebte. Brandreth sucht nicht nur das Geheimnis dieser in vielen privaten wie politischen Krisen erprobten Ehe zu ergründen, sondern richtet seinen Blick auch auf ein faszinierendes Stück Zeitgeschichte.

The book delves into his life, addressing the truth behind his infamous 'gaffes' and rumors of affairs, while offering a final portrait of a man often misunderstood. Philip and Elizabeth, both great-great-grandchildren of Queen Victoria, had contrasting upbringings.

They met as cousins in the 1930s and married in 1947, at ages twenty-one and twenty-six. The narrative assesses Philip's character and achievements, exploring his relationships with Elizabeth, their children, and the public, as well as his early tensions with the press and court. This account presents a powerful and revealing look at a remarkable royal partnership and a long life filled with challenges and triumphs.
