Description

Every little girl longs to be a princess, but what is life really like for a young girl growing up first as Elizabeth of York and then as the Princess Elizabeth, heir to the throne? Learn about her childhood, her relationship with her sister Margaret, the effects of the abdication of her uncle, her teenage years during a time of war and her coming of age as a married woman. What is it really like to live in a palace? How do parents raise an unspoiled princess? This richly detailed portrait is a peek into the heart of the young girl who would become Her Majesty the Queen.
