Elizabeth

In 1936, Elizabeth, a shy ten-year-old with a limited education, became heir to the throne after the abdication of her uncle, Edward VIII. Suddenly, the princess was catapulted into a new life and the role that awaited her—as Queen. Through interviews with close friends and members of the Royal Household, we paint a uniquely personal picture of young Elizabeth, from her easygoing early days at her Piccadilly home to her war years at Windsor Castle to her 1952 overseas tour, when she learned of her father's death and her ascension to the throne.

In 1952, Elizabeth became the youngest monarch to ascend the throne in over a century and her coronation was broadcast around the world. During her first decade as Queen, she made use of her glamour and youth to shape the monarchy, but she faced many challenges dealing with Churchill and other politicians as a constitutional monarch. And she would soon have to navigate the conflict between duty and family when her sister Margaret fell in love with a married man and her husband Philip lost his bid to use Mountbatten as the Royal Family name.
