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.

'Intelligent, amusing and entertaining' Alexander McCall Smith 'I see murder in this unhappy hand...' When Mrs Robinson, palmist to the Prince of Wales, reads Oscar Wilde's palm she cannot know what she has predicted. Nor can Oscar know what he has set in motion when, that same evening, he proposes a game of 'Murder' in which each of his Sunday Supper Club guests must write down those whom they would like to kill. For the fourteen 'victims' begin to die mysteriously, one by one, and in the order in which their names were drawn from the bag... With growing horror, Wilde and his confidantes Robert Sherard and Arthur Conan Doyle, realise that one of their guests that evening must be the murderer. In a race against time, Wilde will need all his powers of deduction and knowledge of human behaviour before he himself - the thirteenth name on the list - becomes the killer's next victim.

THE NO 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER A personal account of the life and character of Britain's longest-reigning monarch, from the writer who knew her family best 'Compelling . . . Fascinating' DAILY MAIL 'The writer who got closest to the human truth about our long-serving senior royals' THE TIMES 'The book overflows with nuggets of insider knowledge' TELEGRAPH Paints a unique picture of the remarkable woman who reigned for seven decades. Fascinating insights' HELLO! __________ Gyles Brandreth first met the Queen in 1968, when he was twenty. Over the next fifty years he met her many times, both at public and at private events. Through his friendship with the Duke of Edinburgh, he was given privileged access to Elizabeth II. He kept a record of all those encounters, and his conversations with the Queen over the years, his meetings with her family and friends, and his observations of her at close quarters are what make this very personal account of her extraordinary life uniquely fascinating. From her childhood in the 1920s to the era of Harry and Meghan in the 2020s, from her war years at Windsor Castle to her death at Balmoral, this is both a record of a tumultuous century of royal history and a truly intimate portrait of a remarkable woman. __________ Praise for Gyles Brandreth's bestselling royal writing: 'Beautifully written book. I have read many other books about Philip but this is the best' DAILY EXPRESS 'Brilliant, totally inspiring . . .
