This April, royal watchers are celebrating what would have been Queen Elizabeth II's 100th year. To mark her centenary, HELLO! is hosting an intimate event in London with our in-house experts and bestselling biographer Robert Hardman. 

Step beyond the headlines and into the private world of the late Queen as Robert answers the question on everyone's lips: "What was Her Late Majesty really like?" As the only biographer to have interviewed all senior members of the royal family, Robert is best placed to regale us with anecdotes and never-before-heard stories in this one-off event. 

He'll begin the chat by reading an extract from his new book, Elizabeth II, which is published that morning, so you'll be one of the first to see it in person. Our royal experts and hosts of A Right Royal Podcast – Emily Nash, Andrea Caamano and Emmy Griffiths – will be quizzing Robert  before turning the questions over to you, our valued audience, for a Q&A session. 

The final tickets for our royal event are now available, so if you want to be in the room with us, in a beautiful setting in central London, now's the time to book!
