For the first time, all 70 of the Queen' s Christmas speeches are published together in full, along with six additional feature speeches made at significant points in her life. Organised by decade, each chapter opens with a narrative essay on the key events that follow, providing an important contextual backdrop to the speeches. From times of national and global turmoil - including wars, terror attacks and health crises - to times of joy - such as the new millennium and Olympics - The Platinum Queen is a testament to Elizabeth' s unwavering resolve, faith and dedication to her role.
Jennie Bond is a broadcaster and journalist, who appears regularly on a wide range of television and radio programmes. As the BBC' s royal correspondent during fourteen of the most turbulent years the monarchy has endured, Jennie was at the heart of events that made headlines around the world: from the fairy-tale marriages to the adultery, the divorces and the deaths. She is the author of Elizabeth: 50 Glorious Years, a commemoration of the Queen' s reign, and Reporting Royalty, which tells in detail of her years keeping tabs on Britain' s royal family. She lives in Devon and thoroughly enjoys getting away from it all at her seaside home.
