Description

Harold Nicolson called her 'the greatest Queen since Cleopatra', while Cecil Beaton called her 'a marshmallow made on a welding machine'. The Queen Mother's story has not yet been properly told. This book seeks to question the Queen Mother's role, how she faced her challenges and crisis, how powerful she was, and how she coped.
