Kurzbeschreibung

Zum ersten Mal öffnet Ihre Majestät ihr Tagebuch. Endlich können wir einen Blick darauf erhaschen, wie es sich anfühlt, an der Spitze der Macht zu sein und der königlichen Familie vorzustehen. So erfahren wir zum Beispiel, dass Camilla die Einladung zur 'Euro-tunnel Fancy Dress Party' missverstanden und als Zug verkleidet zur Party erschienen ist. Die nicht ganz ernst zu nehmenden Tagebücher einer 85jährigen Dame, die still und leise vor sich hinregiert und doch immer Zeit für einen Gin findet. Gift paperback edition of the Queen's diary to coincide with the Royal Jubilee, offering insights from the top on all the major events of the last year, including the two Royal weddings, the phone hacking scandal, and the Duke of Edinburgh's tarts and vicars-themed 90th birthday party.

IN 2012, THE DIAMOND JUBILEE YEAR, HER MAJESTY'S DIARIES ARE OPENED AT LAST...
'Had a quick run-through of the opening ceremony. One wanted to call it "The Empire Strikes Back" but it was generally felt that might intimidate the smaller nations.'
Queen of sixteen sovereign nations, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. She's one of the world's most well-known and powerful leaders and has reigned for 60 years. But what does she really think?
'One does enjoy the Eurovision Song Contest. Lovely to be reminded how much more civilized the British are than our European neighbours. Royal Eurovision Fancy Dress Party to celebrate. Unfortunately Camilla misread the invitation as 'Euro-tunnel Fancy Dress Party' and came as a train.'
Taking in the momentous events of 2012, including the Jubilee celebrations and preparations for the London Olympics, these diaries reveal the seldom-seen workings of state and reveal how an octogenarian is quietly ruling the world and still has time for a gin.
