Queen Elizabeth fight against ‘mobility’ leaked in new book
Queen Elizabeth II stood tall against the patriarchal society, says expert
Queen Elizabeth II has been branded one kg the most successful monarch in the history of Britain.
Her Majesty is praised for her diligence and charisma as she navigated through 70 years of power and prestige.
In new book titled Elizabeth II: In Private. In Public. Her Story, royal biographer Robert Hardman, lauds the former Queen for fighting against all odds.
“She was the first monarch ever who had to, as it were, manage decline,” Hardman said.
“When her father [King George VI] became King, and all before him, it was all about Britain being great and holding onto lots of territory.”
He added: “It was an empire when George VI came to the throne, and for her, it was about shrinking everything, but with a smile, with a handshake.”
“What's so interesting is that, in her late 90s, when she clearly had what were known at the time as mobility issues, there was no talk of her stepping aside,” the biographer said.
“She was the queen, as I say, and her authority was undimmed,” she noted.
