Description
Wicked Wit of Queen Elizabeth II (The Wicked Wit)
When thinking of the Queen, our first image is one of dignity and
authority. She is the very definition of majesty: the British monarch,
the Supreme Governor of the Church of England and the head of the
Commonwealth. But as anyone who knows her will tell you, in person she
has a wicked sense of humour. Occasionally unintentional (when meeting
guitar legend Eric Clapton she enquired 'Have you been playing a long
time?'), sometimes cannily astute ('I have to be seen to be believed')
and at times downright silly (nicely demonstrated when staff at
Balmoral discovered the Queen jumping up and down with glee exclaiming
'I've won, I've won!' after hearing that England had beaten Australia
in the cricket), her sense of humour is like no other.

Queen of Our Times: The Life of Elizabeth II
Elizabeth II was not born to be queen. Yet from her accession as a
young mother of two in 1952 to the age of Covid-19, she has proved an
astute and quietly determined figure, leading her family and her
people through more than seventy years of unprecedented social change.
She has faced constitutional crises, confronted threats against her
life, rescued the Commonwealth, seen her prime ministers come and go,
charmed world leaders, been criticised as well as feted by the media,
and steered her family through a lifetime in the public eye.
