Divine Right: The Inglorious Survival of British Royalty

By Richard Tomlinson

Book Overview

An overview of the British monarchy since 1714 which argues that the House of Windsor has frequently been saved not by its own actions, but by dedicated servants and spouses; and that the collapse of its mystique began in the 1970s, when the Royal Family became active figures in the publicity game.

The Royals

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.
