Throughout the years her popularity has grown internationally on a scale which is quite phenomenal, in an age which often derides the old-fashioned virtues she has so consistently and unashamedly upheld. No queen consort has fulfilled her duties more conscientiously; no widowed queen has been taken more to the people's hearts.As Douglas Liversidge indicates in his final chapter, specially written for this edition, when the time comes to write the comprehensive story of the British monarchy in the twentieth century, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother will emerge as one of its towering pillars of strength.
