What They're Saying
Critics Review
The relationship between the Queen and Prince Philip is enlivened by the voices of so many interesting, wonderful contemporaries, which makes for a fresh and original approach. – Hugo Vickers, Royal Biographer
A riveting take on an extraordinary relationship. – Richard Eden, Diary Editor, Daily Mail
It’s a story we think we know so well, but in Tessa’s charming new book she uncovers illuminating untold stories from the Queen and Philip’s youth. – Emily Andrews, Royal Journalist
If you love royalty you’ll love Tessa’s book. She writes so well. – Jo Elvin, Palace Confidential, Daily Mail
The symbolism of the Queen’s marriage and how it affects a whole generation [Dunlop] illustrates very beautifully in the book … Elizabeth and Philip is a very good read. – Michael Portillo * The Times Radio *
A fascinating piece of history – Ben Sixsmith * The Critic Magazine *
one of my books of 2022 … the future Queen emerges, as one would expect, as a dignified young woman, but it is Philip’s upbringing that fascinated me the most. A worthy tribute. – Oliver Webb-Carter, Editor * Aspects of History *
Wonderfully fresh … a glorious book. – Alan Titchmarsh MBE
[An] incisive, crisply written book * Observer *
A charming double portrait of Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, in the early years of their romance and marriage. Enriched by interviews with ordinary Britons of the royal couple’s generation, it’s a poignant and well-documented study of a couple whose ‘matter-of-fact style’ and ‘extraordinary work ethic’ were a balm for their nation. Royal watchers will be pleased. * Publishers Weekly *
