The Queen is starring in a new children's book to be sold in royal palaces.

 

以英国女王为主角的新儿童读物将在王宫起售。
 

 

Children's book The Birthday Crown tells the story of The Queen's search for the perfect crown to wear on her birthday.

 

And after suggestions from jewellers, gardeners and other royal staff it's her grandson who eventually offers the perfect crown - a paper one he's made himself.

 

The hardback book will be on sale at Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace from April 12 ahead of The Queen's 90th birthday on April 21.

 

Published by the Royal Collection Trust, it has been written by David Cali with illustrations by Kate Slater and will cost £12.95.

 

It features an illustration of The Queen with two corgis on the front.

 

Publisher Jacky Colliss Harvey said: "We hope that children and adults alike will enjoy David Cali's charming story about a very special birthday, brought to life through Kate Slater's highly original collage¹ illustrations."
