    The glue of the nation
  

*by A***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 April 2023*

I bought this book before her Majesty passed away ,like many loved watched the Crown knowing full well of its inaccuracies this book puts things in to prospective . HRH worked hard all her life she was lucky enough to find a loving husband ,his sense of humour was not always appreciated by all I found it hilarious on most occasions. The book covers her trip to Kenya when she became Queen , she had a short course on how to be Queen ,unlike our new King Charles who had a good time to prepare. After the Abdication her life changed on her succession she was led by some of the old school tie mob, their attitude wasn't always right and it took time for the Queen to sort out friend and foe. She and the Duke of Edinburgh were a team he had ideas on modernization the suits didn't like it but like Prince Albert before him his idea's were mainly supported by the Queen. The book covers many areas her relationship with heads of government up to the short tenured final one of her reign ,it goes over the long relationship with Winston Churchill who advised her on many subjects the Abdicated Edward who would pop up later as a Nazi supporter with promises of his crown replaced. He also advised her on the late Princess Margaret who had fallen in love with a Divorced man ,I don't know what he would have thought about our king himself a divorcee marrying a divorcee and becoming queen . The book covers scandal of the Royal portrait collection administrator Blunt having been uncovered as a spy for the USSR this must have hurt her. It's funny the spies for a communist state always seem to live in luxury. The Porfumo case is covered as well because of the tenuous links between the Duke and his Chiropractor ,all the furore of Snowdons divorce which now we know was doomed from the start,he was his best own spin doctor. The chapters covers all the state visits both here and abroad and holding them here ,not as shown on the Crown but Obama did seem to be a favourite. The Queens love of the commonwealth is apparent she calmed many a storm by simply getting them to talk all her meeting are given a mention , apart from the ones Edward Heath told her that they wouldn't be much to discuss. He omitted that the commonwealth countries were worried if we joined the Common Market where would it leave them? The Queen put this right by inviting everyone to meet her to discuss their worries, there's chapters each covering a time span of her reign her time with Wilson comes over as favourable and most others . Mrs Thatcher although I don't think a favourite the Queen had to support her as head of her government no matter her personal views. The chapter on the rise and fall of the Wales's is sad perhaps because it's still in living memory but reading between the lines I really think they married for the wrong reasons, neither been squeaky clean the Queen was advised but could also see the problem. The fake Martin Bashir TV program is most probably the final nail in the coffin he made millions out of a very vulnerable young woman and should be ashamed. The chapter of the now Prince and Princess of Wales is bright and cheerful the next chapter in royal history,of course there is coverage of Harry and Megan's marriage and the fall out . The Queen kept her feelings close to her chest ,l suspect the Duke had something to say ,they get a few paragraphs in their favour the Queen loved and respected his decision  a pity he didn't give her the same courtesy. The loss of the Duke of Edinburgh is covered like most people of that time a huge funeral was not allowed,which by all accounts he didn't want. The Queen is undoubtedly the glue that held the nation together , King Charles has a hard act to follow and so does William .This book made me think and look a different way on the Queen I always respected her perhaps she didn't always make the right decisions but we are all flawed and she will forever be my Queen. God Bless your Majesty.
