520    "A definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the 
       seventieth anniversary of her reign by a renowned royal 
       biographer. Shy but with a steely self-confidence; 
       inscrutable despite ten decades in the public eye; 
       unflappable; devout; indulgent; outwardly reserved, 
       inwardly passionate; unsentimental; inquisitive; young at 
       heart. All of these describe Her Royal Highness Queen 
       Elizabeth II, who has reigned through more seismic social 
       change than any monarch since 1066 (Charles I included). 
       From the Abdication to the Sussexes, she has witnessed 
       family crises on a scale not seen since the days of George
       III. Yet she is not merely hanging on. She is a 21st 
       Century global phenomenon commanding unrivalled respect 
       and affection. Sealed off during the greatest peacetime 
       emergency of modern times, she has stuck to her own maxim:
       'I must be seen to be believed.' And now she is preparing 
       for an event without parallel since the reign of Louis XIV
       : her Platinum Jubilee. On February 6th, 2022, she marks 
       70 years on the Throne. Robert Hardman, the acclaimed and 
       respected author of Her Majesty and Queen of the World has
       already examined the Queen as a modern monarch and her 
       role as a stateswoman abroad. Now, he wraps up the full 
       story of one of the undisputed greats in a thousand years 
       of monarchy. Hardman distils Elizabeth's complex life in 
       to a must-read study of dynastic survival and renewal. It 
       is a portrait of a world leader who remains as intriguing 
       today as the day she came to the Throne at age twenty-
       five. With peerless access to members of the Royal Family,
       staff, friends and royal records, Queen of Our Times will 
       bring fresh insights and scholarship on the modern royal 
       story. There will be no more thorough, more readable, more
       original book on the record-breaking Elizabeth II as she 
       reaches a landmark which, surely, can never be equalled."-
