About the Book

The year 2012 marks Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee, the 60th anniversary of her coronation. In The Queen & Us, first published in 2003, Nigel Nicolson writes about the changes that have taken place in the public's attitude to the royal family during his lifetime, and their response to those changes. Now with a new introduction by Charles Anson CVO, former Press Secretary to the Queen, the book explores questions like, What is the Queen like? What does she do? What is the future of the monarchy? In answering these questions, Nicolson draws on his own memories of the royal family, public and private, and on the diaries of his father, Sir Harold Nicolson, who wrote the official biography of George V, and witnessed at first hand the drama of Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson.

About the Author :
Nigel Nicolson (1917-2004) was the younger son of Harold Nicolson and Vita Sackville-West and was himself a writer and publisher for more than fifty years. For most of his life he lived at Sissinghurst where his mother made one of the world's most famous gardens. He wrote several biographies, including Portrait of a Marriage, Alex: The Life of Field Marshal Alexander of Tunis and Mary Curzon (which won the Whitbread Prize), as well as books on politics and the arts. He was editor of the six volumes of Virginia Woolf's letters. For some years he was a conservative Member of Parliament, and was co-founder of the publishing firm Weidenfeld & Nicolson.

Review :
"A unique quality of authenticity . . . The book has perfect pitch all through and does not need to rely on court gossip or revelations by royal servants for one to know what is going on, since the author himself is part of what is going on, and has been so all his life . . . author and subject are well matched." --The Spectator "Elegant and engaging . . . a handy distillation and an essay about a relationship with royalty which is as persistent as it is, on occasion, manifestly absurd." --The Sunday Telegraph
