Also there that day was The Australian Women’s Weekly’s royal
correspondent Anne Matheson, who had covered the Windsor family’s
triumphs and tragedies for our pages for years and was one of the few
trusted press members to be granted access to their inner circle. From
her engagement and wedding to Prince Philip to her coronation and
beyond, Anne was there to report in real time on Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II, often with a front row view. Today, we delve deep into our
archives to revisit both Anne’s original reportage along with The
Weekly’s iconic covers and photographs in a pictorially stunning coffee
table book sure to delight royal fans of every vintage.
