They were the closest of sisters and the best of friends. But when, in a quixotic twist of fate, their uncle Edward VIII decided to abdicate the throne, the dynamic between Elizabeth and Margaret was dramatically altered.
From the idyll of their cloistered early childhoods, through their hidden wartime lives, into the divergent paths they took following their father’s death and Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne, this compelling biography explores their relationship over the years. Andrew Morton offers unique insights into these two drastically different women - one resigned to duty and responsibility, the other resistant to it - and the lasting impact they have had on the Crown, the royal family and the way it adapted to the changing mores of the twentieth century.
