I have this as both an ebook and an audiobook, but chose to listen to the audiobook exclusively as Giles has such a relaxing voice.

I really enjoyed learning more about the late Queen, from someone who knew her so well. However, I was put off slightly by how often the Queen’s experiences were compared to Meghan’s. I would read the dreadful Daily Mail if I wanted that insight. It dampened my view of the book slightly as it should have been solely focused on the Queen.

The author is such a die hard royalist it got difficult to read. He clearly worships Camilla which is a pretty insane red flag by itself.

An absolute joy to read, moving and mesmerising biography of her late majesty the queen. Gyles has known and interviewd her late majesty and prince phillip for many many years and had used some recollections from their times together. I like to read at least one biography a year and i'm glad i chose this one.
