“A beautifully presented guide to the royal world, with all its rituals and peculiarities. Amanda Matta brings wit, clarity, and a curious eye to the history, personalities, and customs behind the palace gates.”—Omid Scobie, New York Times bestselling author of Finding Freedom and Endgame
Let’s be honest: we all have a favorite royal, but how many of us actually understand how the institution works? Have you ever wondered why a move from one residence to another is significant? Or gotten lost in a tangle of titles and protocols that no one ever explains? And why does it matter if a royal breaks away from “the Firm” to tell their story?
The Royal-TEA takes you through the storied past and complicated present of the British monarchy, exploring the systems of law, tradition, and power that shape the institution. This illustrated primer also covers the grandeur of royal ceremony, from coronations and weddings to state visits and garden parties—as well as royal fashion, jewels, and pastimes. And, of course, the infamous scandals!
Whether you’re a longtime royal watcher, casual follower, or skeptic, The Royal-TEA is essential reading for anyone curious about the history, influence, and future of the British royal family.
