How does she do it?For the first time, step behind palace doors to unlock the little-known secrets behind the queen’s remarkable self-preservation and continued radiance. Investigating the six lifestyle spheres that have kept her going strong for decades, you will learn how to channel your inner royal—whether at work or at the table—in this fascinating plunge into the House of Windsor’s famous fountain of youth.Extensively researched and delightfully revelatory, it’s the story of how one strong queen can make stronger, happier, healthier subjects of us all. Long live you!
