The official companion to the Emmy-winning Netflix drama chronicling the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, and starring Claire Foy and John Lithgow, The Crown by Peter Morgan, featuring additional historical background and beautifully reproduced archival photos and show stills.
Elizabeth Mountbatten never expected her father to die so suddenly, so young, leaving her with a throne to fill and a global institution to govern. Crowned at twenty-five, she was already a wife and mother as she began her journey towards becoming a queen.
As Britain lifted itself out of the shadow of war, the new monarch faced her own challenges. Her mother doubted her marriage; her uncle-in-exile derided her abilities; her husband resented the sacrifice of his career and family name; and her rebellious sister embarked on a love affair that threatened the centuries-old links between the Church and the Crown. This is the story of how Elizabeth II drew on every ounce of resolve to ensure that the Crown always came out on top.
Written by the show’s historical consultant, royal biographer Robert Lacey, and filled with beautifully reproduced archival photos and show stills, The Crown: The Official Companion: Volume 1 adds expert and in-depth detail to the events of the series, painting an intimate portrait of life inside Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street. Here is Elizabeth II as we’ve never seen her before.

"by the sudden death of my dear father, i am called to assume the duties and responsibilities of sovereignty. My heart is too full for me to say mroe to you today than that I shall always work, as my father did throughouth his reign, to uphold consititutional ogvernment and to advance the happiness and prosperity of my peoples, spread as they are al the world over. I know that in my resolve to follow hsi shining example of service and devotion, i shall be inspired by the loyalty and affection of those whose queen i have been called to be. I pray that God will help me to discharge worthily this heavy task that has been laid upon me so early in my life.
a good cigar is as great as a comfort to a man as a good cry is to a woman
as necessary to his happiense as the air he breathed
Churchill might suddenly go siletn, then launch into a long strand of dictation without any warning, unaware of everything and everyone around him as he stalked up and down. He might sound out one tricky phrase to himself as many as 20 times sotto voce, going around and around with it until he got it right-often with the help of a glass of brandy or his beloved Pol Roget Champagne.
a sheep in sheep's clothing; a modest man who has much to be modest about
to do nothing is the hardest job of all, and it will take very ounce of energy that you have. To be impartial is not natural, not human. People will always want to you to smile or agree or frown, and the moment you do, you will have declared a position ,a point of view- and that is the one thing as Sovereign that you are not entitled to do. The less you do, the less you say, or agree, or smile.
when you informed me of your intended marriage and abdication and how i implored you not to do so for your sake and for the sake of the country. You did not seem able to take in any point of view but your own.. I do not think you have ever realized the shock which the attitude you took up caused your family and the whole nation. It seemed inconceivable to those who had made such sacrifices during the war that you, as their king, refused a lesser sacrifice.. All my life i have put my Country before everything else, and I simply cannot change now.
set a good example
life, especially ofr those in high places, is not for self-satisfaction.
To suggest that a Christian should be allowed to break those laws to achieve her heart's desire is tantamount to suggesting that on may steal something just because one wants it.
a birthright of incredible prvilege that could have been a platform for constructive endeavour was never quite fulfilled, leaving the Princess with the perpetual grievance of the also-ran--to which a succession of backstaris anecdotes born witness
sex appeal was the fresh ingredient that Princess Margaret brougth to the royal package
dry subject should be taught in a stimulating fashion.
the story of the world today for the men and women of tomorrow,
on some days the old gleam would be there, wit and good humour would bubble and sarkle, wisdom would roll out in telling sentences and still, occasionally, the sparkle of genius could be seen in decision, a letter or phrase.
simply want to sweep the whole problem under the carpet
happiness in the full sense is a spiritual state and that its most precious element may be the sense of duty done.
"I am aware that i am surrounded by people who feel they could the job better. Strong pleple with powerful characters, more natural leaders... But, for better or worse, the Crown has landed on my head"
