Against the odds, monarchies flourished in nineteenth-century
Europe. In an era marked by dramatic change and revolutionary
upheaval, Europe's monarchies experienced an unexpected late
flowering. Royal Heirs focuses on the roles and personalities of
the heirs to the throne from more than a dozen different dynasties
that ruled the continent between the French Revolution and the end
of the First World War. The book explores how these individuals
contributed to the remarkable survival of the crowns they were born
to wear. Constitutions, family relationships, education, politics,
the media, the need to generate 'soft power' and the militarisation
of monarchy all shaped the lives of princes and princesses while
they were playing their part to embody and secure the future of
monarchy. Ranging from Norway to Spain and from Greece to Britain,
Royal Heirs not only paints a vivid picture of a monarchical age,
but also explores how such disparate monarchies succeeded in
adapting to change and defending their position.
