This is an interesting look inside the marriage of the heads of the Royal Family. A number of the reviews show criticism for glossing over the parts of history concerning Diana, but the book is not about her, it's about the relationship and marriage between the Queen and Prince Philip and shows how they have successfully negotiated problems and challenges within their 70 years of marriage and within the monarchy. It's an excellent and informative book for anyone who knows little about the history of the Royal Family. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
When a young Princess Elizabeth met and fell in love with the dashing Naval Lieutenant Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, it wasn't without its problems. The romance between the sailor prince and the young princess brought a splash of colour to a nation still in the grip of post-war austerity. When they married in Westminster Abbey in November 1947, there were 3000 guests, including six kings and seven queens. Within five years, as Queen Elizabeth II, she would ascend to the throne and later be crowned in front of millions watching through the new medium of television. Throughout her record-breaking reign, she relied on the formidable partnership she had made with her consort. Now, after 70 years of their marriage, acclaimed royal biographer Ingrid Seward sheds new light on their relationship and its impact on their family and on the nation. In My Husband and I, we discover the challenges faced by Prince Philip as he has had to learn to play second fiddle to the Queen in all their public engagements, but we also get a revealing insight into how their relationship operates behind closed doors. As the years have gone by, there have been rumours of marital troubles, fierce debates over how to bring up their children, and they have had to deal with family traumas - from scandalous divorces to shocking deaths - in the full glare of the public eye. But somehow, their relationship has endured and provided a model of constancy to inspire all around them. This book is not only a vivid portrait of a hugely important marriage, it is a celebration of the power of love. No library descriptions found. |

The book is no tell-all, no revelations or salacious gossip. Prince Phillip's gaffes are referred to and explained away as humour or response to boredom. The Prince's love life outside the marriage is also dealt with and found wanting. The Prince elicits sympathy. He has devoted his life to giving unwavering supporting to the Queen.
The family's trials and tribulations, including it's lowest point -- Princess Diana's death -- are covered. For those familiar with the family, there's no new incformation; for others interested in learning more, this easy-to-read account is a good place to start. ( )
