Celebrate the Queen
The public and private life of the world's most famous monarch
Born in 1926, married in 1947, crowned as Queen in 1953, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II carried out her duty with great dedication for more than seven decades. TASCHEN celebrates her remarkable royal story with a new edition of Her Majesty, a definitive photographic collection of her public and private life.
Brimming with history, tradition, fashion, glamour, and culture, the book spans the Queen's early years right until her passing in 2022. Along the way, we trace her coming of age during World War II - her marriage, motherhood, and coronation - her encounters with such icons of their age as the Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, and JFK - and her extensive international travels. We visit the spectacular royal palaces and enjoy the infectious celebration of royal weddings and jubilees. We witness the elegance of official portraits, and the intimacy of family moments.
As much a showcase of top photographers as a r celebration of her remarkable royal life. Her Majesty includes the work of such luminaries as Cecil Beaton, Studio Lisa, Dorothy Wilding, Karsh, Lord Snowdon, David Bailey, Patrick Lichfield, Annie Leibovitz and many others.
