ISBN: 9780525511632 - george vi and elizabeth: the marriage that saved the monarchy (22 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. A revelatory account of how King George VI and Queen Elizabeth's loving marriage saved the monarchy during World War II, based on exclusive access to the Royal Archives--from the bestselling author of Elizabeth the Queen and Prince Charles. Granted special access by Queen Elizabeth II to her parents' letters and diaries and to the papers of their close friends and family, Sally Bedell Smith brings the love story of this iconic royal couple to vibrant life. This deeply researched and revealing book shows how a loving and devoted marriage helped the King and Queen meet the challenges of World War II, lead a nation, solidify the public's faith in the monarchy, and raise their daughters, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret. When King Edward VIII abdicated the throne in 1936, shattering the crown's reputation, his younger brother, known as Bertie, assumed his father's name and became King George VI. Shy, sensitive, and afflicted with a stutter, George VI had never imagined that he would become King. His wife Elizabeth, a pretty, confident, and outgoing woman who became known later in life as the Queen Mum, strengthened and advised her temperamental husband while simultaneously training the future Queen Elizabeth II, who was educated to lead from an early age and fell in love with Prince Philip at thirteen. With his wife's support, advice, and love, George VI was able to overcome his insecurities and become an exceptional leader, navigating the country through World War II, establishing a relationship with Winston Churchill, visiting Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt in Washington and in Hyde Park, and inspiring the British people with his courage and compassion during the blitz. Sally Bedell Smith gives us an inside view of the lives, struggles, hopes, and triumphs of King George VI and Elizabeth during a dramatic time in history.…
