From her accession to the throne to her reign, from World War II Britain broke away from Europe. She has experienced various historical stages in Britain and has also witnessed the rise and fall of the British Empire in the past century.
Although the Queen is now at an advanced age, every time she appears in front of the world, she still has the same exquisite makeup and beautiful clothes as always. Her nobility, elegance, and calmness have obviously withstood the baptism of countless years. The Queen is very special. A good explanation of what is: a life of beauty.
"Elizabeth II and the Era" tells the story of the Queen's legendary career and the evolution of the British world under her rule.

The writing style of "Elizabeth II and the Era" is exactly the same as the impression given by Elizabeth II Queen's standard eight-tooth smile and decent words and deeds represent the aristocratic style. Invisibly, she seems to be surrounded by an invisible set of The rules and regulations are tightly bound and strictly explain many aspects of the life of the Queen and the royal family members according to the established perspective.
The writing style of royal biographer Clive Owen is exactly the same as the attitude and demeanor of all members of the British royal family of Windsor. It is solemn, serious, and imitating the old-fashioned way. It is obvious and ordinary celebrity biography, and it is extremely different from the reading habits of ordinary readers.

"Elizabeth II" is a very dull and boring book A biography of Queen Elizabeth II. The author's self-praising and narcissistic flashes are everywhere in the book, and about the Queen, about Diana, about Princess Margaret ... there are many sensitive topics that readers are concerned about and want to find out. It's just a superficial sketch, without any in-depth and detailed exploration. Some tidbits are only taken literally and cannot even be regarded as secrets. Many plots that can be unfolded and spread always end abruptly at key nodes. The unfinished reading experience makes people feel a little frustrated and bored.
A lot of space is given to Princess Margaret’s husband Anthony in "Elizabeth II and the Era".

It cannot be ruled out that Owen secretly shows off his familiarity with Anthony.
Regarding the Queen's performance at Diana's funeral, I was originally intended to give an extraordinary interpretation as a royal biographer, but still, Irving's position was that of everyone at the time. He gently criticized the Queen for her Such indifference, without analyzing the causes and consequences of the Queen's indifference. Ordinary people can think of the disharmonious relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the ex-mother-in-law attending the ex-daughter-in-law's wedding. How could it be possible to do something sad and impossible even among the people, let alone Diana already had her favorite marriage partner at the time, and he was an Egyptian of a different faith. As her former mother-in-law, Elizabeth II, it was already a great honor to attend the funeral.
