She is the longest serving British monarch in history. She has reigned over an era of great consequence and dramatic change. She's lived through World War II, the Cold War, and everything afterward. She counts among her prime ministers, Winston Churchill, Clement Attlee, Margaret Thatcher, and Tony Blair. She's met more

American presidents than any head of state in her lifetime. She is Queen Elizabeth II.

From June 2nd to June 5th of this year, the United Kingdom celebrated her platinum Jubilee, an unprecedented 70 years on the throne.

And what a 70 years it's been. Like anyone who has been in the public eye for so long,

she's gone through her share of ups and downs. She's been scrutinized all of her life. She's been

criticized for what she's done and not done.

But 70 years after taking the throne, and now in her 96th year of life, she remains as popular and beloved as ever.

She is an indelible symbol of continuity and service in a time of great disruption. And if she lives for

another two years, she will surpass French King Louis XIV for the longest verifiable reign in

modern history. In short, she has lived a truly epic life. Our guests today have just published a remarkable book titled Queen Elizabeth

the Second and oral history.

Their names are Deborah Hart Strober and Gerald Strober.

Previously, they've written oral histories about presidents Kennedy, Nixon, and Reagan, evangelist

Billy Graham, the Dalai Lama, and Rudy Giuliani.

And I'm excited to have them on this episode to discuss the Queen and her place in history.

Caring for someone with dementia is one of the toughest journeys, but you don't have to do it

alone. I'm Alison Schreier, and my experience caring for my husband inspired me to create Zinia,

Zinia offers research-backed videos intentionally created for people with dementia, engaging, calming,
