It would be hard to invent a group of personalities more
extraordinary than the British Royal Family - known as 'The Firm'
by Prince Philip. With an eye on the past, present and future, this
book takes an up-to-date look at how the family really operates and
reveals how they behave behind closed doors. With showbiz stars and
sporting celebrities now attracting the adulation once afforded to
royalty, The Firm questions what monarchy is for. Is it a hangover
from the past, an expensive anachronism, a relic of a bygone age of
deference and hierarchy, or is it an important and relevant part of
Britain in the 21st century - something that gives stability and
continuity to the country, and richness and glamour to our national
life in ways that a republic never could? If so, do the media mock,
hound and criticize the Royal Family at their peril? Has Prince
Charles sacrificed the throne for love? Could Prince William decide
that the long lenses and the scrutiny of his private life is too
high a price to pay? Penny will also look at how the dynamics of
the royal household have changed over the last year and what
repercussions these changes will have. Whilst in the hardback
edition Penny Junor was able to discuss the implications of Charles
and Camilla's marriage only two months after it was announced, the
paperback promises to offer a host of new surprises and implication
for the future of the House of Windsor, as well as an inside view
of how The Firm have taken in their newest member. Whatever happens
over the next year, we can be sure that Penny will update this
paperback edition to make it an essential buy for anyone who has
even a passing interest in Britain's most dysfunctional and
fascinating family.
