Born in 1926, married in 1947, crowned as Queen in 1953, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II carried out her duty with great dedication and fortuitude for more than eight decades. TASCHEN celebrates her remarkable royal story with a new pocket-sized 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 rightuntil her passing in 2022. Along the way, we trace her coming of age during the Second World War; her marriage, motherhood, and coronation; her encounters with such icons of their age as Marilyn Monroe and her extensive international travels. We visit the spectacular royal palaces and enjoy the infectious celebration of royal weddings, state banquets and jubilees. We witness the elegance of official portraits, intimate family moments, and more informal pictures of the Queen at leisure.

As much a showcase of top photographers as a 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.
