A biography of the remarkable, and in her time scandalous, seventeenth-century writer Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle.

The 12th Duke of Beaufort, known to his friends as 'Bunter', inherited his Dukedom and Badminton House in 2017, at the age of sixty-five. But he is also a singer and songwriter with the rock group The Listening Device. Now he combines his responsibilities as Duke with his life as a rock performer. In this lively and anecdote-filled memoir, Harry Beaufort takes us behind the scenes of his varied life: from playing poker with politicians, to partying on Ibiza with film stars to people watching with The Queen from a balcony at Windsor Castle.

One was a married American socialite who embarked on a scandalous affair with the future king of England. Another was an aristocratic ingenue whose winsome charm captured the world’s imagination. And the third was a thirty-something actress whose outspokenness put her on a collision course with the British public. The marriages of Wallis Simpson, Diana Spencer, and Meghan Markle into the British royal family sparked a series of crises that at times seemed to threaten the future of the monarchy itself.

Ogni suo gesto, sguardo o movimento è osservato, studiato, analizzato.

Elisabetta II è, è stata, e verosimilmente resterà, la regina dei record. È il sovrano che ha viaggiato più di tutti coloro che, prima di lei, hanno indossato una corona. È stata la prima regina a comparire in televisione e anche la prima a dover affrontare una serie di scandali che hanno messo a dura prova la sua pazienza e la sopravvivenza stessa della monarchia. E il 6 febbraio ne ha raggiunto un altro: il Giubileo di Platino, 70 anni seduta sul trono inglese come mai nessuno nella Storia.

Born on Christmas Day, 1936, Princess Alexandra's birth was almost overshadowed by the abdication of her uncle, King Edward VIII. Yet public affection for this new addition to the Royal Family has only grown during a lifetime of dedicated royal service. In this biography, Helen Cathcart chronicles the first thirty years of Princess Alexandra's life, from the tragic death of her father when she was just five years old to her wartime childhood at Badminton living with her grandmother Queen Mary.

Using never before seen sources, Once a King is a fresh, revelatory and gripping insight into the Duke of Windsor - King Edward VIII - who gave up the throne to marry the woman he loved, twice divorced American Wallis Simpson. Considering Edward VIII's travels and interests as Prince of Wales as well as his relationship with Wallis Simpson and the course of events leading up to his abdication and subsequent exile, Once a King offers a previously unexplored lens through which we encounter two of the twentieth century's most iconic Royal figures: the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

Power and gender theories are applied to the life of Queen Elizabeth I to examine her tactics to maintain internal security within the borders of England and Ireland in the shadow of her cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots, who had succumbed to the actions of misogynistic men.

In 1346, at the age of sixteen, he won his spurs at Crécy; nine years later he conducted a brutal raid across Languedoc; in 1356 he captured the king of France at Poitiers; as lord of Aquitaine he ruled a vast swathe of southwestern France. He was Edward of Woodstock, eldest son of Edward III, but better known to posterity as 'the Black Prince'. Michael Jones tells the remarkable story of a great warrior-prince – and paints an unforgettable portrait of warfare and chivalry in the late Middle Ages.

Kun prinsessa Elisabet on kymmenenvuotias, hänen kohtalonsa muuttuu dramaattisesti. Elisabetin setä, kuningas Edward VIII, luopuu kruunusta viedäkseen vihille eronneen Wallis Simpsonin, ja Elisabetin isä, Yrjö IV, nousee äkkiarvaamatta kuninkaaksi. Elisabetista tulee siten Britannian imperiumin perillinen, ja isän menehdyttyä ennenaikaisesti on Elisabetin vuorostaan ryhdyttävä kuningattareksi. Vasta 25-vuotias Elisabet saa kantaakseen raskaan velvollisuuksien taakan: hänen on asetettava kruunun ja valtakunnan hyvinvointi kaiken muun edelle.

Kun prinssi ja näyttelijätär tapaavat sokkotreffeillä, on ilmassa kipinöitä. Harry ja Meghan aloittavat suhteensa salassa, mutta uutiset leviävät pian ja pariskunta joutuu lehdistön suurennuslasin alle. Avioliiton solmiminen ja hulppea hääseremoniakaan eivät rauhoita tilannetta toivotulla tavalla. Meghan ei tunnu sopeutuvan kuninkaallisen perheen jäseneksi, ja äitinsä kohtaloa sureva Harry pelkää historian toistavan itseään...

Vuoden 2020 alussa prinssi Harry ja herttuattaren arvonimen saanut Meghan päättävät erkaantua Britannian kuningashuoneesta. He antavat Oprah Winfreylle haastattelun, joka muuttaa heidän tulevaisuutensa: Harryn ja Meghan syyttävät kuninkaallista perhettä rasismista ja syrjimisestä. Tämän jälkeen pariskunta päättää jättää Englannin lopullisesti taakseen. Uusi elämä Yhdysvalloissa odottaa, mutta millaiseksi tulevaisuus muodostuu?

Toinen Diana Spenceriä käsittelevä jakso pureutuu Dianan elämän myöhempiin vaiheisiin. Mitä tapahtuu, kun Diana vihdoin kieltäytyy hänelle valitusta roolista ja alkaa seistä omilla jaloillaan? Voisiko hän olla jotain muutakin kuin prinsessa ja Britannian tuleva kuningatar?

19-vuotiaan Diana Spencerin elämä on kuin satua: hän on kihloissa kruununprinssi Charlesin kanssa ja tulevaisuus näyttää loistavalta. Pilvilinnat romahtavat kuitenkin ylellisten häiden jälkeen, ja Diana huomaa pian, että satu on muuttumassa painajaiseksi, jolle ei näy loppua. Charles ei pysty luopumaan elämänsä rakkaudesta Camilla Parker Bowlesista, ja nuori Diana tuntee jäävänsä aivan yksin jäykän monarkian armoille.

Charles syntyi kruununprinssiksi, mutta tuo rooli ei aina ollut hänelle helppo tai luonteva. Lapsena hän oli herkkä ja ujo, ja monimutkainen suhde ankaraan ja poissaolevaan isään, prinssi Philipiin, varjosti lapsuutta. Myöhemmin Charlesista kasvoi tavoiteltu poikamies, mutta kuningattareksi kelpaavaa vaimoa oli hankala löytää. Nuori Diana Spencer tuntui sopivan muottiin, mutta avioliitosta muodostui onneton. Asiaa ei auttanut se, että Charles haikaili edelleen nuoruudenrakkautensa, Camilla Parker Bowlesin, perään...

Known to millions as the imperious matriarch of Bridgerton's court, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was still a teenager when she was chosen to be the bride of King George III. Shy, innocent, and sheltered, the orphaned princess and her groom carried the hopes of a nation on their shoulders. The unassuming young couple symbolized a new beginning, but soon those hopes began to sour. Charlotte and George's marriage lasted for nearly sixty years and produced more than a dozen children, but it was beset by unrest at home, war in the colonies, and the king's encroaching madness.
