  Few people know the truth about Elizabeth II and her family. But biographer Sarah Bradford has spent the last ten years penetrating the Palace facade, uncovering unpublished documents and talking to courtiers, friends, politicians and employees, in order to try and build up a true picture of Elizabeth as both executive and mother. The result is not only a family saga spanning the century but also a portrait of a very private woman, which attempts to answer some of the questions so often asked about the royal family, and speculates on the future of the troubled Windsor dynasty.
