I Ingrid Sewards biografi får vi den virkelige historien om det kongelige ekteskapet. Da den unge prinsessen ble forelsket i Prins Philip av Hellas og Danmark, var det på langt nær problemfritt. Nå 70 år etter bryllupet, setter Seward søkelyset på det kongelige ekteskapet og hva slags innvirkning dette har hatt på familien deres og nasjonen. Vi får et innblikk i Prins Philips utfordringer med å spille annenfiolin på offentlige arrangementer, men vi får også et innblikk i hvordan forholdet deres fungerer bak lukkede dører. I årenes løp har det gått rykter om problemer i ekteskapet og høylytte diskusjoner om barneoppdragelse. Ekteparet har også vært gjennom en rekke familiedramaer - fra skandaløse skilsmisser til sjokkerende dødsfall. Boken er ikke bare et portrett av et viktig ekteskap, det er også en feiring av kjærligheten. Omtalen er utarbeidet av BS A revealing insight into the marriage of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, published to mark their 70th wedding anniversary
