Summary
A sparkling celebration of our much-loved Queen Elizabeth II including special writings and illuminating insights around key moments in her 70-year reign, introduced and edited by Joanna Lumley.
In 2022 Queen Elizabeth II celebrated seventy years as Queen and Head of the Commonwealth. She was Britain's longest reigning monarch and the very first to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee.
A Queen For All Seasons, edited and introduced by Joanna Lumley, is a perceptive, touching and engaging tribute to this unique woman. A treasure chest of first-hand writings, insights and snapshots of the Queen during key moments of her reign to form a vibrant portrait of the woman herself and the extraordinary role she played.
Joanna Lumley guides us as we meet Princess Elizabeth in 1952, aged just twenty-five, and about to become Queen, and in more recent times when, as our matriarch, the Queen kept the national ship steady through seven decades, including in moments of crisis and suffering. Here are unique perspectives into some of the most fascinating aspects of the Queen's life—her role as head of state at home and abroad, her private passions and public interests and a bird's-eye look at key events that have held the nation together and the Queen in our affection throughout Britain and beyond.
This book is a special and unique portrait of the life of Queen Elizabeth II.

Lumley at her best!
All my favourite things in one book! Being narrated by Lumley makes it even more exquisite! A true masterpiece! I love everything she does. Can’t get enough.

talks too fast
I was hoping for another relaxing listen like Joanna's autobiography No Room For Secrets. This has far more content and it feeling like she talks at twice the speed, which takes away from the relaxing tone her voice has. I just guessed at 3 stars for the Story score.
I am not into the subject matter but would have listened if it was spoken slower. I simply won't listen as I like her other audiobook for sleeping help. This sounds rushed so it has the opposite effect to relaxing me.
