Description: Campbell shows us that the untold life of Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, is far more interesting and moving than the official version that has been peddled since 1923. Elizabeth's life has been filled with controversy-- beginning with the mysterious circumstances of her birth, the roles she played in her daughters' marriages, and her relationship with Princess Diana.
