Show Notes
Four years after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is joined by Royal Biographer and Photographer Ian Lloyd and former Press Secretary to Queen Elizabeth II, Ailsa Anderson, to reflect on her extraordinary life, reign and enduring legacy.
From her final days at Balmoral and the carefully planned events following her death to the sense of duty that defined her 70-year reign, they explore how Elizabeth II remained a constant through decades of enormous change.
They look back at her leadership during Covid, her lifelong devotion to the Commonwealth and the more personal side of the woman behind the Crown — including stories from Balmoral, her relationship with Princess Anne and the moments when her famous sense of humour came to the fore.
Four years on, they also ask how Queen Elizabeth II’s influence continues to shape King Charles, Prince William and the future of the monarchy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
