Over her 65-year reign — the longest of any British monarch — Queen Elizabeth II became a symbol of stability in a rapidly changing world. She had 13 prime ministers, witnessed the dismantling of the British Empire, and saw sweeping political, technological and social upheaval.

Her life also witnessed the changing fortunes of the Windsors, from the dramatic abdication of her uncle Edward VIII when she was only 10 years old, to the scandals surrounding Princess Margaret's thwarted love life and finally the turbulent relationship between Prince Charles and Princess Diana.

Rod Green explores the personal and political intrigues that beset the Windsors, including the Queen's fascinating relationships with prime ministers: Winston Churchill, Anthony Eden, Margaret Thatcher.
