In On Royalty Jeremy Paxman delves deep into Britain's royal past.
What is the point of Kings and Queens? What do they do all day? And
what does it mean to be one of them? Jeremy Paxman is used to
making politicians explain themselves - but royalty has always been
off limits. Until now. He takes a long hard look at our present
incumbents to find out just what makes them tick. Along the way he
discovers some fascinating and little-known details. Such as: how
Albania came to advertise in England for a king which English queen
gave birth in front of 67 people how easy it is to beat up future
kings of England and how meeting the Queen is a bit scary - whoever
you are ... No other book will tell you quite as much about our
kings, queens, princes and princesses: who they are and what
they're for. 'Paxman's book is everyhing that royalty is not
allowed to be - witty, stylish, intelligent, pugnacious and
political. The Times 'On Royalty is an absorbing, well-researched
book, part serious enquiry, part rollicking anecdote' Evening
Standard 'Action-packed and entertaining' Sunday Telegraph Jeremy
Paxman is a journalist, best known for his work presenting
Newsnight and University Challenge. His books include Empire, On
Royalty, The English and The Political Animal. He lives in
Oxfordshire.
