Goodreads The Windsor Knot by S.J. Bennett | Goodreads

Her Majesty received almost 40,000 birthday messages from members of the public during her 80th birthday year. Diamond Wedding anniversary I feel like the idea behind it is good, but it didn’t deliver in the way I wanted it too. The writing was good, and the author has done amazing research on the monarchy. For instance, the circumstances of the murder was quite intriguing. However, the mystery aspect was way too cozy for me, and didn’t excite me, therefore my rating.The Queen celebrated her 90th birthday on 21 April 2016 and her official birthday on 11 June 2016, the second day of three days of national celebrations.

The The Windsor Knot: The Queen investigates a murder in this

Princess Elizabeth was now first in line to the throne, and a figure of even more intense public interest The Abdication of King Edward VIII De auteur heeft dit originele concept erg leuk uitgewerkt en zet de sfeer in het paleis, de relaties van de koningin met haar medewerkers, familieleden, vrienden en de staatshoofden sterk en geloofwaardig neer. De gevatte grapjes tussen haar en prins Philip, haar warmte, haar doelbewustheid en doorzettingsvermogen maken van haar echt de grote ster van dit boek. Je zult haar voortaan altijd met andere ogen bekijken!He is someone who doesn't take easily to compliments. He has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years, and I, and his whole family, and this and many other countries, owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim or we shall ever know.’ The climax of the national celebrations came in early June. On the evening of Monday 6 June, The Queen lit a bonfire beacon at Windsor which started a chain of beacons across the country. On Tuesday 7 June, vast crowds saw The Queen drive in the Gold State Coach to St Paul's Cathedral for a Service of Thanksgiving attended by heads of state from around the world and former prime ministers of the UK.

Her Majesty The Queen | The Royal Family

Overall, The Windsor Knot is a satisfying start to what I think will be a great cozy mystery series. All the Queen’s Men is the second book, and I can’t wait to see what puzzle the Queen will solve next.Het boek is met veel humor geschreven, en ook al komen er behoorlijk veel namen in voor en gaat het verhaal af en toe wat van de hak op de tak, is het absoluut een fijn en goed te volgen verhaal. Het tempo ligt niet al te hoog, maar dit is dan ook meer een ‘cozy mystery’ dan een thriller of huiveringwekkende detective. Het is een onderzoek dat je met veel plezier kunt volgen en ik ben zeer benieuwd naar het volgende mysterie dat de koningin zal oplossen! Como puntos positivos destacar, como ya adelantaba, el personaje de la reina a la que humaniza totalmente y te hace quererla. No penséis que va a ser una Jessica Fletcher o una Miss Marple. La reina es como la cabeza pensante en la trama, la que actúa en la sombra para que todo fluya y no quiere llevarse galones. Ella no se mete en fregados sino que todo lo hace desde la diplomacia y el saber estar “real” junto a su asistente Rozie. The Queen turned 80 on 21 April 2006 and celebrated her official birthday on 17 June 2006. A number of events took place to celebrate the birthday, both around Her Majesty's actual birthday on 21 April and her official birthday on 17 June.

Her Majesty The Queen: The Official Platinum Jubilee Pageant Her Majesty The Queen: The Official Platinum Jubilee Pageant

Services of Thanksgiving were held at St George’s Chapel in Windsor and at St Paul's Cathedral, and the latter was followed by a lunch at Mansion House in London. I like learning about the British Royal Family, and although this story is fictional, the premise lured me in over a year ago; Queen Elizabeth's Private Secretary, Sir Simon Holcroft, an old-school gentleman, tries to shield the Queen from the worst of the news.

In 1952, King George VI's health was poor, and illness forced him to abandon a proposed Commonwealth tour. Princess Elizabeth, accompanied by Prince Philip, took his place. On Wednesday 6 February 1952, she received the news of her father's death and her own Accession to the throne while staying in a remote part of Kenya. In an instant, she had ceased to be Princess Elizabeth and became Queen Elizabeth II. On 6 February 1952, King George VI died following a prolonged illness. Princess Elizabeth immediately acceded to the throne, becoming Queen Elizabeth II and taking on all of the responsibilities which came with her new title. Later in the year, the date was set for the Coronation at Westminster Abbey and preparations began for the spectacular ceremony. The Queen virtually doesn’t do anything to solve the crime. She plays a passive role in the solving of this crime while the main investigation is done by the police and her secretary. This makes me kind of furious because this book is marketed as “The Queen investigates and solves a crime” and there wasn’t much of this in the book. I get it that the Queen is more of a secretive sleuth and doesn’t take credits but even so, there was no part where she actively took part in the investigation. She appears much more of a bystander.
