Description
The Shortest History of the Crown by Stephen Bates For over 1,800 years, the British monarchy has endured amidst turmoil and change. This remarkable legacy is a result of both tradition and adaptability. In this engaging account, former royal correspondent Stephen Bates explores the intricate world of royal custom and ritual, while also delving into the personalities and policies that have shaped the monarchy. Bates provides a comprehensive history of the Crown's power struggles and concessions, revealing how these events have contributed to its enduring presence in modern Britain. As the country mourns the end of Queen Elizabeth II's seventy-year reign and welcomes Charles III as its new king, questions about the future of the monarchy inevitably arise.
