70 years on the throne. 13 American presidents. One extraordinary queen.. From the moment she first enchanted the world as a youthful princess, Queen Elizabeth II found a unique place in American hearts - and she also played an unprecedented role in forging transatlantic ties. Over her seventy-year reign, she developed extraordinary and varied personal bonds with thirteen U.S. presidents - Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, both Bush Sr. and Jr., Clinton, Obama, Trump, and Biden - that other diplomats and leaders could only dream of.. A fascinating, in-depth look at international relations and interpersonal intrigue, Royal Audience peels back the curtain on the "special relationship" between the U.S. and the U.K. as embodied by the Queen herself - charting Elizabeth II's distinctive brand of one-to-one diplomacy through the eyes of those who experienced it firsthand.
