The many facets of Queen Elizabeth revealed through the lens of legendary photographers who managed to capture her most authentic self.
Queen in every ounce of her being, Elizabeth II is the most photographed woman in the world—it is no wonder that she is also a fashion icon. The image she projects through photography is the only stage upon which the Queen truly reveals herself, acquiescing to the universal laws of light and the practical needs of portrait artists. She entrusted great photographers and their lenses with more than just the chronicle of her evolving image and the memory of the Windsors’ fabulous, sometimes dramatic days; she also entrusted them with documenting the monarchy’s role in an evolving society.
This compelling and rigorously researched biography, based on accounts of photographers, articles from around the world and extensive iconographic research, offers an intimate portrait beyond the lens.
