ROYAL By Robert Lacey Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II In Royal, Robert Lacey makes you feel like you're right there - in the palace, in the castle - about one foot away from the extraordinary woman, Queen Elizabeth II, who has fascinated the world for half a century. But Royal is much more a biography of an institution as of an individual. In fascinating detail, Robert Lacey describes the golden jubilees of previous eras; George III's celebrations included flagons of cider distributed to the poor; Queen Victoria's saw the first press gallery at a royal event, an early sign of the ever burgeoning relationship with popular culture. From the abdication of Edward VIII to the startling inside story - revealed here for the first time - of the dramatic events following the death of Diana, Robert Lacey depicts a monarchy that has been literally shaped by its subjects. Royal is a remarkable account, studded with scoops and revelations. A compelling narrative that takes the reader into the very heart of the royal household, it offers fresh insight and astonishing detail of the events that have shaped Elizabeth II's life. The result is both page turning and though provoking - the definitive dual biography of both the monarchy and the monarch herself.
