Elizabeth Mountbatten never expected her father to die so suddenly, so young, leaving her with a throne to fill and a global institution to govern. Crowned at twenty-five, Elizabeth II drew on every ounce of resolve to ensure that the Crown always came out on top.
The Crown: The Official Companion: Volume 1 is the companion to the Emmy-nominated Netflix drama chronicling the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Written by the show’s historical consultant, royal biographer Robert Lacey, this gorgeous book adds expert and in-depth detail to the events of the series and is filled with beautifully reproduced archival photos and show stills.
