"A Year with the Queen"
Robert Hardman’s A Year with the Queen
(Buy it at Amazon.com)
I don’t like to blog about books that I’ve yet to have the chance to get through, but I thought that since the film to which this book is a companion, Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work, is now airing in America, I’d drop in a link.
A Year with the Queen is marketed as a companion book; it’s reportedly part-guide and part-coffee table book, featuring lots of photographs and helpful information for new royal watchers who want more information on the various members of the Windsor family.
Monarchy is currently airing on PBS stations in most American markets; the first four episodes have already been broadcast, and next week the last two segments are scheduled to air. I highly recommend the film; it’s been fascinating so far, especially the inside look at Buckingham Palace investitures in hour three.
