Elizabeth and Philip

In this dual biography of the Queen and her consort, Charles Higham and Roy Moseley tell a story of behind-the-scenes palace plots and intrigues, family differences and intimate details. Drawing from sources which include exclusive interviews and thousands of newly obtained documents, many from the files of the Foreign Office, the authors tell the story of Prince Philip's family's disgrace in the World War I, and of their Nazi connections in World War II. They look closely at the Queen's financial interests and at her resilience in the face of potential disasters.
