The British author known in part for his news-making bestseller on Princess Diana has a biography of Queen Elizabeth II coming out November 15. Andrew Morton's The Queen was supposed to be published next year, but it was brought forward after the Queen died last week at age 96.
"During
her long and storied reign, Queen Elizabeth II devoted herself to her family and the wider family of nations. During times of national celebration and concern, such as the Covid 19 pandemic, she was the glue who kept the nation together," Morton said Wednesday, through Grand Central Publishing, a division of Hachette Book Group.
"Teasing out the character of the woman behind the impassive mask has been one of the challenges and fascinations of this biography," he said.
The book updates a Morton biography published last year in Britain to mark the Queen's jubilee.
