In a real and imaginative sense, it controls the country and the British possessions through the world. The monarchy is much more than a collection of people, but ruling a large empire. The country of Britain does in fact have an elected legislature but it is heavily influenced by the royalty. The people of Britain love there monarchy, and all aspects of everyday life is governed in some sense by the royalty. Positions in the monarch are determined by inheritance. The persons that make up the royalty are waited on head and toe by a working class of people, who are handsomely rewarded. Royal life is greatly influenced by customs. What the royal persons and staff ae heavily determined by the royal leader, i.e., the king or queen. Those persons hold there positions for life, and operate without a passport, driver’s license, and ordinary credential, required by everyday citizens. Royal persons do operate as ordinary citizens as far as education and military requirements are concerned. In fact marriage between a man and a woman are governed by customs and not ordinary law. In such cases, the husband has total control. May persons say, and rightly so, that those persons are legally married. Yet, marital positions are heavily sought after. Of course, practically every person would like to be a prince or princess. Royal men are expected to participate in activities such as polo, hunting, and shooting. Royal women are expected to conform to royal behavior in dress and action. Numerous customs are known by all royals with regard to dress, action, and normal household activities. There are even culinary customs established by the queens. The royal family is wealthy beyond belief. In the modern world, royal men attend a university and serve in the military, usually as military officers. Royal persons have no last name. An unusual custom. Socially, royal men and women have behavioral signals that govern their personal aid and behavior. For example, if the queen is engaged in a situation she would like to terminate, she transfers her purse from left to right arms, and a royal aide recognizes the problem and remedies the situation forthwith. The media and parparazzi in England have some control over what happens in the royal arena through newspapers, television, and everyday presence at royal events. Some people think that the media has excessive power. However, it is one good way for the British population to know what is going on, since the people effectively pay through taxes pay for the cost of have a royal country. Persons entering the royalty for outside have immense pressure to conform and often experience extreme negative difficulties. It is not normal for royal persons to leave the monarchy. The book is a combination of three novels that describe the difficulties of royal life. The main characters are Matt, the mathematician, the General, a worldwide benefactor, and other people, such as Ashley, Anna, and Sir Charles (Buzz) Bunday, all of whom you have met in other novels. The book is a combination of three novels that describe the difficulties of royal life. The main characters are Matt, the mathematician, the General, a worldwide benefactor, and other people, such as Ashley, Anna, and Sir Charles (Buzz) Bunday, all of whom you have met in other novels. There are three novels: The Mysterious Case of the Royal Baby, The Curious Case of the Royal Marriage, and The Auspicious Case of the General and the Royal Family. The books may be read in any order, but the best result is to read them in order. Each book is totally complete. You will be enlightened and entertained. Remember, the books are novels and the people and the episodes ae not true. Moreover, my usual writing customs apply: no violence, no sex, and no bad language. It thereby applies to readers of all ages. It would be a good beach read.

A Magnificent Obsession
Author: Helen Rappaport
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1429940921
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 635
Book Description
As she did in her critically acclaimed The Last Days of the Romanovs, Helen Rappaport brings a compelling documentary feel to the story of this royal marriage and of the queen's obsessive love for her husband – a story that began as fairy tale and ended in tragedy. After the untimely death of Prince Albert, the queen and her nation were plunged into a state of grief so profound that this one event would dramatically alter the shape of the British monarchy. For Britain had not just lost a prince: during his twenty year marriage to Queen Victoria, Prince Albert had increasingly performed the function of King in all but name. The outpouring of grief after Albert's death was so extreme, that its like would not be seen again until the death of Princess Diana 136 years later. Drawing on many letters, diaries and memoirs from the Royal Archives and other neglected sources, as well as the newspapers of the day, Rappaport offers a new perspective on this compelling historical psychodrama--the crucial final months of the prince's life and the first long, dark ten years of the Queen's retreat from public view. She draws a portrait of a queen obsessed with her living husband and – after his death – with his enduring place in history. Magnificent Obsession will also throw new light on the true nature of the prince's chronic physical condition, overturning for good the 150-year old myth that he died of typhoid fever.

Mystifying the Monarch
Author: Jeroen Deploige
Publisher: Amsterdam University Press
ISBN: 9053567674
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
The power of monarchs has traditionally been as much symbolic as actual, rooted in popular imagery of sovereignty, divinity, and authority. In Mystifying the Monarch, a distinguished group of contributors explores the changing nature of that imagery—and its political and social effects—in Europe from the Middle Ages to the present day. They demonstrate that, rather than a linear progression where perceptions of rulers moved inexorably from the sacred to the banal, in reality the history of monarchy has been one of constant tension between mystification and demystification.

Crown & Sceptre
Author: Tracy Borman
Publisher: Grove Atlantic
ISBN: 0802159117
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
An in-depth look at the British monarchy that’s “a superb synthesis of historical analysis, politics, and top-notch royal gossip” (Kirkus Reviews). Since William the Conqueror, duke of Normandy, crossed the English Channel in 1066 to defeat King Harold II and unite England’s various kingdoms, forty-one kings and queens have sat on Britain’s throne. “Shining examples of royal power and majesty alongside a rogue’s gallery of weak, lazy, or evil monarchs,” as Tracy Borman describes them in her sparkling chronicle, Crown & Sceptre. Ironically, during very few of these 955 years has the throne’s occupant been unambiguously English—whether Norman French, the Welsh-born Tudors, the Scottish Stuarts, and the Hanoverians and their German successors to the present day. Acknowledging the intrinsic fascination with British royalty, Borman lifts the veil to reveal the remarkable characters and personalities who have ruled and, since the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, more ceremonially reigned. It is a crucial distinction explaining the staying power of the monarchy as the royal family has evolved and adapted to the needs and opinions of its people, avoiding the storms of rebellion that brought many of Europe’s royals to an abrupt end. Richard II; Henry VIII; Elizabeth I; George III; Victoria; Elizabeth II: their names evoke eras and the dramatic events Borman recounts. She is equally attuned to the fabric of monarchy: royal palaces; the way monarchs have been portrayed in art, on coins, in the media; the ceremony and pageantry surrounding the crown. Elizabeth II is already one of the longest reigning monarchs in history. Crown & Sceptre is a fitting tribute to her remarkable longevity and that of the magnificent institution she represents. “Crown & Sceptre brings us in short, vivid chapters from William the Conqueror to Elizabeth herself, much of it constituting a dark record of bumping off adversaries, rivals and spouses, confiscating vast estates and military invasions…. [A] lucid, character-rich book.” —Minneapolis Star-Tribune “Borman’s deep understanding of English royalty shines.” —Chris Schluep, Amazon Editors’ Picks, The Best History Books of February 2022

Pages : 407
Book Description
"Until the 1960s, it was widely assumed that in Western Europe the 'New Monarchy' propelled kingdoms and principalities onto a modern nation-state trajectory. John I of Portugal (1358-1433), Charles VII (1403-1461) and Louis XI (1423-1483) of France, Henry VII and Henry VIII of England (1457-1509, 1509-1553), Isabella of Castile (1474-1504) and Ferdinand of Aragon (1479-1516) were, by improving royal administration, by bringing more continuity to communication with their estates and by introducing more regular taxation, all seen to have served that goal. In this view, princes were assigned to the role of developing and implementing the sinews of state as a sovereign entity characterized by the coherence of its territorial borders and its central administration and government. They shed medieval traditions of counsel and instead enforced relations of obedience toward the emerging 'state'."--Provided by publisher.
