Having led the British Royal Family for 70 years, Queen Elizabeth II's experience as a monarch was unique. From her worldwide travels to living through a plethora of life-changing events, Elizabeth's life wasn't like anyone else's. And according to one royal historian, the former Queen had an amazing ability to keep secrets.

Royal historian David Cannadine discussed the late Queen's secret-keeping ability in his new book, Queen Elizabeth II: A Concise Biography of an Exceptional Sovereign. "She was the keeper of many secrets, the repository and respecter of many confidences, and she never leaked," the author explained.
