In an extract from the book, published by the Daily Mirror, Morton said: “The Queen was positively playful on the day of her grandson’s nuptials, ‘practically skipping’ according to one observer, absolutely thrilled at the way the public had reacted to the royal newlyweds.”
The reason behind this was due to the fact that the last few marriages within the Royal Family had failed.

“The monarchy was once again held in admiration and affection by the masses.”
