The Wicked Wit of Queen Elizabeth II

By: Karen Dolby

Narrated by: Helen Lloyd

The Wicked Wit of Queen Elizabeth II is a celebration of the Queen's reign through some of her wittiest, most sarcastic and most humorous observations, revealing a fascinating side of her personality that often remains hidden from the public.

When thinking of the Queen, our perception is often one of dignity and authority. She is seen as a serious figure: the British monarch, the Supreme Governor of the Church of England and the head of the Commonwealth. But as anyone who has ever met her will tell you, in person she has wicked sense of humour.

Occasionally unintentional, like asking guitar legend Eric Clapton, 'Have you been playing a long time?,' sometimes sarcastic, and at other times downright silly, royal humour touches on every aspect of life, while always retaining a strong sense of dignity.

Quite entertaining

Easy listening and quite entertaining and witty. One of the best narrators that I have listened to in my time with Audible.

The title doesn’t fit the contents.

The contents of this audiobook doesn’t live up to the title. Queen Elizabeth obviously had a sense of humor; but the quotes from her are more mildly amusing than wickedly witty. It also seems like there are more gaffes from Prince Philip than comments from the Queen. His comments tend to be more rude than funny.

Puts a smile

Enjoyed remembering the late Queen - the weekend of her passing was a great tribute to read about how remarkable she was in every way

Love the Queen

This was very entertaining, and fun to listen to! Great book, I highly recommend it!

Ok read.

Was hoping for more anecdotes and humor. The story was interesting but not as humorous as I’d hoped it would be. Narrator keeps your attention throughout.
