This volume brings together a fascinating selection of studies
exploring the soft power tools used by heirs to the throne in order
to enhance the communication of monarchies with their audiences
during the nineteenth-century. How we perceive royals and their
dynasties today - as families, as celebrities, as charitable
figureheads of society or as superfluous relics of a bygone age -
has deep roots in the monarchical cultures of nineteenth-century
Europe. By focusing on the role played by heirs to the throne, this
volume offers an original perspective on the ability of monarchies
to persuade sceptical audiences, nourish positive emotions and
thereby strengthen the position of each dynasty within its
respective nation. Using examples from Britain, Italy, Spain, the
Netherlands, Austria, Greece, Sweden, Norway and Prussia, an
international team of experts analyzes and explains the development
of the very soft power tools which are still being used by Ruling
Houses today.
