Description
A happy and glorious collection of over 80 speeches made by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022), selected from across her 70-year reign. Poignant, contemplative, powerful and inspiring: the abridged selections capture the late Queen’s ability to connect across continents and cultures. From her first public radio address as a Princess in 1940, to a thank you to the country at the end of the Platinum Jubilee weekend in 2022, the words offer a fascinating testament to wisdom and service. Mixing Christmas messages with formal State visits, to reassurance at the height of Lockdown: each speech is dated and set into a brief context. Arranged chronologically, the texts are accompanied by quotations from those who met, admired and paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.

Overall product rating 4.5/5

Service Rating:
The speeches are superb and reading through them one realises just how the world changed during Her Late Majesty’s reign. They are both thought provoking. and reassuring just what I believe HM would have wished. Setting them in context for each decade was very useful too.
Only criticism is a big one, the dedication at the front of the book is to HRH (HerRoyal Highness) which is for princes or princesses. The monarch is ALWAYS HM fir Her or His Majesty. I cannot believe no-one noticed this glaring error.

Very interesting book would definitely recommend it.
