5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderfully illustrated, entertaining.
This book is a "must have" for anyone interested in royalty or history in general. It's a lovely book in a scaled down coffee table format.

Classic narrative destroyed by atrocious editing
This book was sloppily produced. Typographical errors permeate. There are distracting mistakes in some of the captions, too, such as that for a picture of a gray bearded, corpulent Prince of Wales supposedly taken in 1863 when he would have been a man in his early twenties (p. 205). The author -- and his subject -- deserve much better. The publisher deserves a spanking.

What a waste of money...,

...on the part of the publisher and author to get something this great in print and fail to have it professionally edited. The cost of the color plates, binding, and printing must have been enormous, and the thing reads like a 6th-grade paper that hasn't been proofed. Pity.
