| Samenvatting | What goes on as the Queen prepares for her public appearances? How relevant are these appearances to the daily life of ordinary people? Is there still a role for the monarchy as the millennium draws to a close? As the authors ask these questions, the reader will share their exploration of an extraordinary and fascinating life. Never before have outsiders been allowed to spend an entire year in the company of the British monarch. The distinguished painter Michael Noakes and the writer Vivien Noakes were granted access to record both the public and hitherto unknown behind-the-scenes working life of Queen Elizabeth. In this unique book, they take us inside where we can watch her go about her daily business as they record every aspect of her life as the British monarch. The book is filled with human glimpses, with the triumphs as well as the hiccups. It covers the Queen's every engagement and every working responsibility throughout the year, with a commentary on the meaning and significance of each. The illustrations - in watercolour, oils and pencil sketches - evoke the atmosphere and provide the setting. This is a beautiful and magnificent tribute to Her Royal Highness, Queen Elizabeth, one that provides insight into the monarchy as an institution and into the life of the woman who wears the crown. |
