QUEEN MOTHER, THE（ISBN=9781400078349） 下载 pdf 2025 网盘 epub 在线 mobi 免费

The official and definitive biography of Queen Elizabeth the

Queen Mother: consort of King George VI, mother of Queen Elizabeth

II, grandmother of Prince Charles, and the most beloved British

monarch of the twentieth century.

Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon—the ninth of the Earl of

Strathmore’s ten children—was born on August 4, 1900, and,

certainly, no one could have imagined that her long life (she died

in 2002) would come to reflect a changing nation over the course of

an entire century. Vividly detailed, written with unrestricted

access to her personal papers, letters, and diaries, this candid

royal biography by William Shawcross is also a singular history of

Britain in the twentieth century.
