La historia definitiva de la vida y el legado de la reina Isabel II

Tenía veinticinco años cuando la repentina muerte de su padre, el rey Jorge VI, la convirtió en soberana del Reino Unido. Por entonces, Isabel ya estaba casada con Felipe de Grecia, que, posteriormente, adoptó el título de duque de Edimburgo, de cuyo matrimonio nacieron cuatro hijos: Carlos, Ana, Andrés y Eduardo.

Con su coronación en 1953, Isabel II (Lilibet para su familia) inauguró el reinado más largo de la edad contemporánea, solo interrumpido por su fallecimiento el 8 de septiembre de 2022...

Als bekannt wird, dass Prinz Harry eine amerikanische Schauspielerin kennengelernt hat, löst das einen internationalen Medienrummel aus. Vor einem internationalen Publikum geben er und Meghan ihre Verlobung bekannt, richten eine glanzvolle Hochzeit aus und bringen ihren ersten Sohn Archie zur Welt. Die Journalisten Omid Scobie und Carolyn Durand gehören zu einem Kreis von ausgewählten Reportern, die direkten Zugang zur britischen Königsfamilie haben und das Paar kennen wie nur wenige Außenstehende.

We live in a world where Netflix makes lavish dramas about the current royal family, whilst Prince Harry and Meghan continue to indulge us with tell-all interviews, articles, upcoming biographies and documentaries. So what if Oprah gave Kate and William the opportunity to tell their sides of the story and - against all the odds - they agreed?

L'8 settembre 2022, a pochi mesi dalle celebrazioni per il Giubileo di Platino, si è spenta a novantasei anni tra le mura del castello di Balmoral in Scozia Elisabetta II, l'ultima grande regina. Perché "l'ultima"? Perché dopo di lei verranno tre re. Perché nessun monarca britannico ha regnato più a lungo. E perché ci ha accompagnato dal primo dopoguerra fino alla rivoluzione digitale, diventando una presenza costante per almeno tre generazioni, non soltanto nella vita dei propri sudditi ma del mondo intero.

Die aktuellste Biografie mit Exklusivmaterial aus den Royal Archives. Schüchtern, aber mit stählernem Selbstbewusstsein. Unergründlich trotz eines Lebens in der Öffentlichkeit. Gläubig. Unsentimental. Neugierig. Mit all diesen Begrifflichkeiten ließe sich Queen Elizabeth II. beschreiben. Eine Regentin, die mit stärkeren Veränderungen konfrontiert wurde als alle anderen royalen Staatsoberhäupter der englischen Geschichte. Dabei wurde sie nicht als Thronfolgerin geboren, ihr Leben wurde durch die Abdankung König Edwards VIII. unvermittelt in andere Bahnen gelenkt.

King Edward I was the first of three Edwards who reigned in perfect succession. He was one of the most important kings in English history, but he was also one of the most controversial. This was the king who subdued Wales and fought Scotland to a standstill for much of his reign. He battled leading Scottish figures that are recognizable to even novice history students. Both William Wallace and Robert the Bruce butted heads with this English ruler.

Grâce à une enquête minutieuse dans les archives du règne de Louis II de Bavière, Jean des Cars réussit à percer la personnalité de ce roi longtemps victime d'une réputation injustifiée. Il a édifié des châteaux fantastiques qui exaltent l'éthique de la chevalerie médiévale et le génie de la France du Grand Siècle. Il a sauvé du désespoir et de la faillite Richard Wagner en imposant son œuvre, mais fut finalement contraint d'exiler le musicien au comportement excessivement intéressé.

Il lunghissimo regno di Elisabetta II è la storia enigmatica di una donna timida e inavvicinabile che dell'accettazione del proprio destino, dell'appassionata difesa della corona, ha fatto la suprema ragione di vita e uno schermo impenetrabile. Con un'eccezione: la fotografia, che l'ha accompagnata nel suo lungo viaggio di sovrana e nell'iconografia del secolo. L'unico palcoscenico in cui The Queen, cedendo anche solo per pochi minuti alle leggi universali della luce e alle esigenze pratiche di un ritrattista, si è davvero rivelata.

Sono passati quasi settant'anni dal giorno dell'incoronazione – la prima trasmessa in diretta televisiva – sotto le magnifiche volte dell'abbazia londinese di Westminster, e da quel 2 giugno la fama e la popolarità di Elisabetta ii non hanno fatto che aumentare. Nel suo ruolo pubblico ha vissuto in prima persona cambiamenti storici epocali, attraversando guerre mondiali e tempeste politiche; come capo della famiglia Windsor ha dovuto affrontare scandali e tragedie, divorzi e rappacificazioni.

King Philip VI was the first French King of the famous House Valois, and he inherited France at the height of its power. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t remain that way for long. His fierce rivalry with King Edward of England destabilized the region, threw France into turmoil, and launched one of Europe's most infamous wars: The Hundred Years’ War. Originally born into minor nobility, Philip was never considered to one day be king. The life journey of Philip VI, the first king of House Valois, is a truly fascinating story filled with unsuspecting inheritance.

À Vienne, on la critique ; à Budapest, sous le prénom d'Erszébet, on la vénère, car elle défend le nationalisme magyar contre l'emprise autrichienne.

Christian 9.’s historie er en lang og usandsynlig en af slagsen. Født som fattig prins i Tyskland var hans vej til den danske trone ikke på forhånd givet. Han tilhørte en fjern sidelinje i det danske kongehus, men da Frederik 7. døde uden at efterlade sig nogen arvinger, blev kronen tildelt Prins Christian af Glücksborg. Sammen med sin elskede dronning Louise satte Christian 9. eftertrykkelige fodspor i hele Europa ved at gifte sine seks børn ind i de toneangivende kongelige og kejserlige familier.
