The British royal dynasty, which has been the subject of intense public interest in recent decades, particularly due to the cult of personality surrounding Princess Diana, can look back on centuries of tradition. However, it has remained largely unknown that the British royal family has German roots. In this book, the author vividly, grippingly, objectively, and sometimes with a touch of humor, describes the lives of kings and queens from 1714 to the present day. The glitz and glamour of the rulers and their families are scrutinized, often revealing to the reader a world of debauchery, mistresses, and statesmanlike narrow-mindedness. Anyone interested in a comprehensive and unvarnished picture of the Windsors should not miss this book. It is aimed at a wide readership and is of lasting value and interest to history buffs as well as myth and aristocracy researchers. The tourist information at the end of each chapter is an important addition to the book, providing details of places of historical interest mentioned in the book that can be visited today.
