A Beautiful, Dignified Portrayal,
By
This review is from: People: The Royals: Their Lives, Loves, and Secrets (Hardcover)
The contents, photos, stories, and glimpses of history, sorrow, celebration and transformation are beautifully portrayed in this full color high resolution magazine.
[Side Note: I bought this when it first came out, and the front cover is different than the picture shown, but the title is the same.] The areas covered are: "A Century of Style - From Princess Diana's star power to Queen Rania's modern take on tradition, royals have shaped the world of fashion." "Jewels" - Just an incredible close up look at the jeweled crowns, jewelry worn, from brooches to bracelets, this is really a depiction that any jewelry lover would be glad to see. "Weddings" - from Lisa Halaby & King Hussein of Jordan, to Princess DIANA and Prince Charles, Letizia Ortiz & Felipe of Spain, Crown Prince Al-Muhtadee Billah Bolkiah of Brunei & Sarah Salleh (the photo of the custom made gold Rolls Royce is quite a Kodak moment! Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier III of Monaco adorn the pages as well as a beautiful look back in time to 1947 when Princess Elizabeth married Philip Mountbatten. And there's more! "Behind the Palace Walls" - This takes you inside the castles with rare, true behind-the-scenes photos that are quite amazing. "Scandals" - There are plenty of them, and they are told in an unbiased manner. "At Play" - Ski holidays, yachting, polo matches, fun in the water - it shows the more regular human side to the royals. "The Next Generation" - this is a rare and especially splendid look inside the lives of the grown children: Exceptional photos of Prince's William and Harry, in-the-moment action shots (sports & hugs) along with their girlfriends. Princess Caroline's beautiful young adult children, Charlotte, Andrea, and Pierre - truly magnificent. The Editors of PEOPLE really did one OUTSTANDING job. This is a magazine/book that I will always treasure. Their collector editions are so well put together. I'm looking forward to receiving the new one Diana: Her Story, as Told Through the Pages of People when it comes out this July. Get this issue now, while you still can!

HRH shops Lobb's for shoes,
By Special Agent (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: People: The Royals: Their Lives, Loves, and Secrets (Hardcover)
I thought it might be a good "read." It isn't. It's a darn picture book. If that's what you want & enjoy a strong lean into fashion, then it's for you. I did learn, however, that HRH Prince Charles wears Lobb shoes. They cost about $3,600 a pair higher than mine. Mine may cost up to $200, but Lobb's start at $3,800US. (Please remind Jeeves to park the Phantom so he may open the rear door curbside at Lobbs, not into traffic next spring when HRH is fitted there. Do remember that it is one's habit to sit at the left rear whilst in London. Whilst on holiday in the Colonies, one is seated at the right rear in those peculiar LHD Rolls-Royces. One's forward view is blocked, otherwise, what? It shall be fall when the bespoke shoes are ready, so Jeeves is to be ever so careful, what, so the old pair are not splashed, God forbid, by passing peasants as HRH steps out.)
