[edit] QUEEN AND COUNTRY
A celebration of the 50 years of Elizabeth II's reign including interviews with people who have known the Queen. It reveals a woman whose family is subject to increasing media intrusion, and yet one who maintains a majestic dignity.
For the Queen's Golden Jubilee, Britain's leading royal commentator and one of our finest journalists writes candidly about Queen Elizabeth's reign. With unprecedented access to the Royal Family, William Shawcross deives into the Queen's very public and intensely private lives, revealing a picture of a very human monarch. This beautifully illustrated celebration of 50 years of Elizabeth II's reign reveals her private passions such as horse racing and interviews those people who have known the Queen in this private capacity. Shawcross reveals new information about her relations with the Prime Ministers who have served under her, and her - sometimes stormy - relationships with the Royal Family. While the furore surrounding minor Royals continues, the Queen stands constant and dignified. However, even the Queen has had to adapt in her dealings with the British media as we move into an age where private lives are up-for-grabs. Queen and Country sheds light on how the Queen is looking forward to the future in twenty-first century Britain and who will succeed her to the throne.
