For the first time since the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, her private papers are being opened to an authorised historian, marking a significant step in documenting the life of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch.
Anna Keay, a respected historian and chief executive of The Landmark Trust, has been appointed to write the late Queen's first official biography. According to BBC News, the project will grant her unprecedented access to personal letters, documents and records held within the Royal Archives, material never before available to researchers.
