The story of an extraordinary sixteen months in British history. When King George VI died unexpectedly in February, his eldest daughter, Princess Elizabeth - just 25 years old - was thrust into the limelight, and overnight became the most famous woman in the world: the Queen of England.
Not born as an heir to the Throne, no one could have imagined that Princess Elizabeth would grow to become one of our greatest monarchs.
From a young Princess to a dignified and wise monarch, Elizabeth spent a lifetime of service, offering words to celebrate, to comfort and to inspire her people.
Her Majesty has seen the world change drastically during her time as Queen. Her inscrutable commitment to duty has defined her lifetime of service to the Crown and lifetime of service to God. But Elizabeth was never meant to be Queen.
