Throughout her 70 years on the throne, Elizabeth II came face to face with 13 American presidents, starting with Truman and ending with the leaders of the past decade: Obama, Trump and Biden. This fascinating history by the Times’ Washington editor, David Charter, takes a closer look at Her Majesty’s special role in the maintenance of transatlantic affections, from horse riding with Reagan to sharing scone recipes with Eisenhower. This book is a tribute to the monarch, her sense of humour and her legacy.
