Queen Elizabeth II died on September 8, 2022, at age 96 at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, ending a remarkable 70-year reign. From taking her palace on the throne in the first televised coronation the country had ever seen through five Royal Jubilees, fifteen Prime Ministers, beginning with Winston Churchill and ending with Liz Truss, to the loss of of her ‘strength and stay’ of 73 years Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth II occupied a unique place in the hearts of her people.

In this special celebration, Sarah Vine is joined by the royal historian's royal historian Hugo Vickers to talk about his latest book, Queen Elizabeth II: A Personal History. A revelatory biography that doesn’t just chart the highs and lows of her reign but sheds new and unprecedented light on the woman behind the crown.
