Description

Amidst the turbulence and invasions, upheaval and dissent that characterise British history, one thing has remained remarkably stable.

Although there are other monarchies, Britain's Crown stands out due to the continuity of its traditions, and its ability to adapt...

In this sprightly commentary on the Crown's 1,800-year-long story, Stephen Bates provides a dazzling insight into Royal custom and ritual, whilst depicting the individuals behind the myth with compassion and wit. And as our ageing Queen prepares to pass the baton, he asks us all to consider: could we ever do without the Crown?
