Want to Read $ 9.99"Your Majesty, I'm afraid everything that could possibly go wrong is going wrong," said Major Sir Michael Parker, an impresario for royal events with an expertise in pyrotechnics. "Oh good, what fun!" she replied with a smile."-Sally Bedell Smith, Elizabeth the Queen: The Life of a Modern Monarch
"Like the princess, Philip didn't believe in public displays of affection, which made it easy to mask his feelings. But he revealed them privately in a touching letter to Queen Elizabeth in which he wondered if he deserved "all the good things which have happened to me," especially "to have fallen in love completely and unreservedly."-Sally Bedell Smith, Elizabeth the Queen: The Life of a Modern Monarch
"Thatcher once said that if she were a visitor from Mars required to create a constitutional system, "I would set up ... a hereditary monarchy, wonderfully trained, in duty and in leadership which understands example, which is always there, which is above politics, for which the whole nation has an affection and which is a symbol of patriotism."-Sally Bedell Smith, Elizabeth the Queen: The Life of a Modern Monarch
"Засади високого виховання, яких дотримувалася Єлизавета, ґрунтувалися на заохоченні й розумінні: не висміювати, не вихвалятися, не підвищувати голос і "в жодному разі не кричати й не залякувати", адже "втратиш цінну довіру інших". Як писала мати в одному з листів до Лілібет, "не забувай тримати себе в руках, не порушуй обіцянок, і нехай тобою керує любов"."-Sally Bedell Smith, Elizabeth the Queen: The Life of a Modern Monarch
