It is sometimes said that Britain's king or queen is mostly a symbolic leader, yet Queen Elizabeth II remains squarely at the center of the state, both politically and culturally. Looking at aspects of the monarchy that the public doesn't always see, Andrew Marr dissects the Queen's political relationships—crucially those with her Prime Ministers—and examines her role as Head of the Commonwealth. Defending the relevance of the throne, Marr also makes the case that Elizabeth has been instrumental in modernizing this venerable tradition for the 21st century.
