About this episode
As a mark of respect and remembrance to the late Queen Elizabeth II, we've chosen to focus on Her Majesty's personal history as a veteran of the Second World War. For this episode, James is joined by Tessa Dunlop to learn more about how the inspirational, dedicated, and devoted monarch that was Elizabeth II went from a young girl living through the blitz, to serving as a second subaltern in the all-female Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) by the end of WW2. Note: This episode was recorded before the announcement of Queen Elizabeth II's death. Edited by Aidan Lonergan. Listen to Elizabeth II: The Making of the Queen.
