Description

The official companion to the Emmy-winning Netflix drama chronicling the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, and starring Claire Foy and John Lithgow, The Crown by Peter Morgan, featuring additional historical background and beautifully reproduced archival photos and show stills
 
Elizabeth Mountbatten never expected her father to die so unexpectedly, so young, leaving her with a throne to fill and a global institution to govern. Crowned at twenty-five, she was once already a wife and mother as she started her journey towards becoming a queen.
 
As Britain lifted itself out of the shadow of war, the brand new monarch faced her own challenges. Her mother doubted her marriage; her uncle-in-exile derided her abilities; her husband resented the sacrifice of his career and circle of relatives name; and her rebellious sister embarked on a love affair that threatened the centuries-old links between the Church and the Crown. That is the story of how Elizabeth II drew on each ounce of get to the bottom of to make certain that the Crown all the time came out on top.
 
Written by the show’s historical consultant, royal biographer Robert Lacey, and filled with beautifully reproduced archival photos and show stills, The Crown: The Official Companion: Volume 1 adds expert and in-depth detail to the events of the series, painting an intimate portrait of life inside Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street. Here is Elizabeth II as we’ve never seen her before.
