A Tribute to Queen Elizabeth II: 1926-2022 The Life and Reign of Her Majesty (Fox Chapel Publishing) Articles, Stunning Photos, the Royal Family Tree, Timelines, and Royal Profiles

by Scott Reeves, Jon Wright, June Woolerton

The most complete collection of in-depth content regarding Queen Elizabeth II. With these pages, we remember a queen who devoted herself to her country and the people within it. In 1926, a princess was born in Mayfair, London. Named Elizabeth after her mother, she was third in line to the throne, but expected to be pushed further down the line of succession when her uncle had his own children. From the meeting and wedding of her parents in 1923 to her birth in 1926 and details of her childhood, upbringing, and education, read about the young princess who was originally third in line to the throne. Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne in 1952 at 25 years old after the death of her adored father. This tribute carefully details the monumental events that followed, including her coronation that took 18 months to plan, the birth of the Commonwealth, her influential role as one of the most experienced heads of state in the world, pivotal moments such as her iconic state visit to China in 1986 that improved relations between the two countries, and more. In this touching tribute to one of Britain's most loved monarchs, we explore the woman who has ruled over generations, her legacy, the history of her royal family, and more, with expertly written articles by the most knowledgeable historians and royal family experts, including Scott Reeves, June Woolerton, Jon Wright, and others. A Tribute to Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Edition is the ultimate, jam-packed resource for history lovers and admirers of Queen Elizabeth II.

Remarkable pictures of her wonderful life and ring as monarch of the Commonwealth. Queen of the world.

Some of the info in this book was interesting. I did not know that Prince Philip basically had no family during his growing up years (his mother was in an asylum and his father deserted the family for a mistress; his four older sisters all married and lived in Germany) and he didn't even have good places to go during school holidays. Some pages dealt with the breakup of the empire and formation of the Commonwealth (earlier material but inserted in the middle of the story of the Queen's life).

However, this book had great gaps in the time sequence. Princes William and Harry were shown as toddlers and then again as married men - virtually no mention of the Duchess of Cambridge. The book backtracked in places. And it came to an abrupt ending - the only place that the Queen's death is mentioned is in the dates of her life on the cover and a couple of other places.

The titles of the Royal Family are not properly punctuated. It often refers to "the prince of Wales" or "the duke of Marlborough," etc.

Overall - this is probably a book of essays, repackaged to make people think it's about the Queen's passing last September. But it's not.

Editing was really bad, not just a few missed or incorrect words but whole series of paragraphs repeated. Not worthy of the late queen. It seemed to be just a repeat of episodes of The Crown. There was information restated over and over across 3 pages or more, like articles reprinted and packaged as a book.

An amazing tribute to Queen Elizabeth. She was an amazing woman.

A fantastic book, detailing all the events which has happened during the late queen Elizabeth reign.

Nice overview of Queen Elizabeth's life, although it was published before she died so it's not current.

I enjoyed the photos and most of the text. However, there were an incredible number of typographical errors including the repeat of several paragraphs!! Nothing is shared about the death of the queen. This seems to be a book thrown together to take advantage of her death.
