From the compelling story of a leader whose legacy of steadfast service lives on, to a fascinating portrait of a hard-working, modern monarch, determined to remain true to himself and make a difference, author and royal expert Robert Hardman explores the full story of transition from our longest reigning monarch to one just taking his place on the world stage.

With fascinating revelations from those who knew her best and special access to unseen royal papers granted by Elizabeth II herself, join Hardman as he recalls the astonishing lives of Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III, from how the Queen raised the future King as both son and heir, up to the transition from those emotionally-charged days following the death of the late Queen, before asking how will King Charles III fill those very royal shoes?

Don’t miss this story of dynastic survival and renewal, spanning abdication, war, romance, danger and tragedy.
