📚 The best books to read about the Queen, from The Palace Papers to The Secret Guests
The Royals feature in many diaries, letters and biographies of notable figures of the 1940s and 1950s – for instance the Mitford sisters were well-connected, particularly Debo, Duchess of Devonshire. Chips Channon’s Diaries contain one killer quote – in an entry in 1941, when he has met Phillip Mountbatten: “He is to be our Prince Consort and that is why he is serving in the Navy… but I deplore such a marriage. He and Princess Elizabeth are too inter-related.” The then-Princess was 14.
SJ Bennett writes crime stories with the Queen as sleuth. They are highly enjoyable, and imaginative, and respectful, and strangely seem to give an insight into Her Maj. What will become of her series…? The author must have thought about it.The Adrian Mole author has Elizabeth II ending up in a council estate after the government abolishes the monarchy.
for a rounded view in three books, choose Tina Brown for the story, Sali Hughes for the pictures, and SJ Bennett for fun.
