Royal biographer Jane Ridley reveals that the Queen Mother 'did not want to be Queen' and was 'terrified' at the thought of becoming monarch.
Biographer Hugo Vickers revealed in his book on Queen Elizabeth, later known as the Queen Mother, how the lack of press attention towards her and her husband, King George VI, proved “worrying” in 1942. In his 2005 book, “Elizabeth: The Queen Mother”, Mr Vickers claims she “worried about the absence of press attention concerning the King’s activities, which was a matter of concern throughout the war”. They allegedly “minded the lack of photographs and the brevity of reports of their activities”.
