I spent happy times also at Glamis Castle in Scotland, one of Elizabeth Bowes Lyon’s childhood homes. She loves her son, Prince Daniel much, however, she really wants her son to get married and have children so she can be a grandmother, so she tries encouraging her son to look for a potential wife instead of exploring. “It was just a terrible tragedy, it really was.

Working with me was Sheila de Bellaigue, the former head of the Archives. She grew up principally in the countryside and was always happiest there; her interest in her prize sheep and cattle, and her corgis, was enduring, and she adored horse racing. In 1920, the Duke of York, King George V’s shy, stammering second son fell in love with Elizabeth and the letters between the young couple as, over two years, he determinedly reached out to her and she resisted life in the golden cage of royalty, are especially poignant. Queen Uberta is a character of The Swan Princess and Derek's mother. Every summer, the king and queen would constantly make arrangements for them to meet, just so the children could get along with each other.

The war brought tragedy to the Strathmores – in September 1915, her brother Fergus was killed at the Battle of Loos, and in 1917 another brother, Michael, was feared dead. That was perhaps my first exposure to what the philosopher Roger Scruton, in a happy phrase, called the monarchy’s “light above politics”. Mehr über sein Leben und Tod erfahren Sie hier. She wears silver jewelry with a purple and taupe gown.

I was honoured and thrilled. People sensed that both Queens embodied the Shakespearian royal ideal of “Christian service and true chivalry”.

She had made it a rule ever since her marriage not to talk about the Royal Family to anyone, even her own parents and siblings – and saw no reason to change in her tenth decade. That role, support at every level of British society, is one of the most important that the monarchy plays. Queen Arianna is a supporting character in Disney's 2010 animated feature film, Tangled. In the years since then, the work of trying to recreate on paper the life of this remarkable woman has been a joy. She is Rapunzel's mother and wife of King Frederic.


There I was looked after with kindness and patience by the Royal Archivist Pam Clark and her staff.



She did tell Anderson that it was “a terrible surprise” when King Edward VIII decided to abdicate to marry Mrs Simpson.



In Tangled: Before Ever After, Arianna tells Rapunzel that, at a young age, she was very much like her daughter in that she felt lost in the world and longed to find her calling. Six summers ago, I received a letter from the Queen’s then Private Secretary, Sir Robin Janvrin, inviting me to write the official biography of Queen Elizabeth, the late Queen Mother. They are so young, a great many only nineteen.” She was at Glamis when the armistice was declared that November and she recalled the convalescing soldiers in the castle marching down the drive to the pub “to enjoy this wonderful moment”.

Her mind, she wrote, worked on many thoughts. One thing is, that they are at their best when things are bad, and the spirit is wonderful.” With the King, she listened to the prime minister’s announcement that Britain was at war – “I could not help tears running down my face, but we both realised it was inevitable, if there was to be any freedom left in our world, that we must face the cruel Nazi creed, & rid ourselves of this continual nightmare of force and material standards.” Later, she and the King prayed together. After a dance in 1918, she wrote to Beryl lamenting that “such a lot of these boys are going out quite soon – in fact nearly everybody I know.



Elizabeth came to adulthood through the 1914-18 War, which began on her 14th birthday. Here are housed the private and official papers of monarchs and their families reaching back to the mid-18th century – a vital and fascinating source of information on the history of the kingdom. This was principally because of the character of my subject – Elizabeth Bowes Lyon, Duchess of York, Queen and Queen Mother was, throughout her life, filled with optimism, a sense of duty matched only by a sense of fun – and her appreciation of the value of a restorative drink.

“Chiefly of the people of this Country – their courage, their sense of humour, their sense of right and wrong – how will they come through the wicked things that War lets loose.


History . One of my earliest childhood memories is of my mother weeping in our garden. The Queen Mother has light skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair.
