This overview of the British monarchy, from the accession of the unpopular George I in 1714, through the apparently halcyon Victorian era to the present, argues that the House of Windsor, often beset by sloth and lack of self-restraint, has frequently been saved not by its own actions, but by dedicated servants and spouses; and that the seeds of the collapse of its mystique were sown back in the 1970s, when the Royal Family tried to transform its image and became active figures in the publicity game.

The Royals,
By Angie23au "Angie" (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Divine Right: The Inglorious Survival of British Royalty (Paperback)
An extremely contoversial book but certainly an eye opener. All those things one thought were true appear to be confirmed. Even things we hadn't heard of were written in such a way that they even changed our opinion of some of the royals. Now I understand why it was banned in the UK.A must read - you won't be able to put it don't.
