Elizabeth R: The Role of the Monarchy Today

The author of this book, Antony Jay, has himself admitted that this book and the accompanying film was a propaganda exercise by the Palace to put across to the people what exactly the Queen is for. He spends this book explaing just that in various points. His defense of the Queen is actually very persuasive and he cleanly rebuts several popular arguments. I myself found this book very informative but a little heavy to digest all at once. If you want to learn, this book is for you, but I prefer to sit back and look at the many excellent pictures it contains. However, overall, it really is quite a good book... and it's high time someone stood up for The Queen anyway. Well done.
