More About the Author

The Queen - A Life in Brief.

I have been writing about the Queen now for nearly forty years, and this little book is intended to distil and re-shape what I've learned into one pleasant afternoon's reading - a summary of its predecessors Majesty (1977) and Monarch (2002, Royal in the UK), with further research and thoughts on Elizabeth II in the year of her Diamond Jubilee.

'Lege feliciter', as the Venerable Bede used to say - May you read happily!

- Robert Lacey, January 2012 - http://robertlacey.com

Robert Lacey is an historian and biographer whose research has taken him from the Middle East ("The Kingdom: Arabia and the House of Saud") to America's Mid-West ("Ford: the Men and the Machine"). "Majesty", his pioneering biography of Queen Elizabeth II, is the definitive study of British monarchy - a subject on which Robert lectures around the world, appearing regularly on ABC's Good Morning America and on CNN's Larry King Live.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Nostalgia, August 14, 2011

I'm a year younger than Diana, Princess of Wales, and so her wedding was of great interest to me and my sisters. My younger sister bought this book, and we looked through it again and again. I decided it was high time I had my own, and bought this and a few other books from just after the Marriage. This was described accurately by the vendor, and arrived quickly. And when I held it in my hands and paged through it, I was immediately transported backwards, which is the true definition of nostalgia! I loved the book then, and still do!

This was one of the first books produced and I bought on the Princess of Wales. It is a warm book and at the time it was written very, very nice! The Princess of Wales went through such a metamorphose at the beginning. You will see it right before your eyes. The clothes she chose right after her engagement and the first months of her marriage was a delight to see. The pictures of her at the event where she went to sleep. The next day they announced she was pregnant were a delight! Wonderful, wonderful book!
