Summary
Book Club #129 - A Voyage Around The Queen - Richard talks to journalist Craig Brown about his fantastic biography of Queen Elizabeth II, A Voyage Around the Queen. They discuss his glorious tangential approach to biography which he’s already used to great effect in books on Princess Margaret and the Beatles, how the Queen in an alternate universe might have been a more anonymous figure, how she had been there through almost all of our lives, the occasionally excretory effect she had on people how met her, whether it’s possible to grasp her real character, the profundity of people queuing to see her lying in state, the possible truth about Michael Fagan and how Rich might have figured in the book had he been a little braver. Plus how Royal protocol resulted in Cherie Blair getting pregnant, how Craig upset Donald Trump and the wrong uns that drifted through the Queen’s life.
