Queen Elizabeth II Biography

On her family:

"Like all the best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and wayward youngsters and of family disagreements.”

On the death of Princess Diana:

"We have all been trying to help William and Harry come to terms with the devastating loss that they and the rest of us have suffered."

From her 21st birthday speech:

"I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and to the service of our great Imperial Family to which we all belong."
