In this new book royal historian Lady Colin Campbell covers The
Queen's Marriage in intimate detail. Using her connections and
impeccable sources she recounts details of the inside story of the
monarch's relationship with the Duke of Edinburgh and her close
family.
With her royal insider's knowledge and historical insight, Lady
Colin Campbell turns her attention to People of Colour and the
Royals. She herself is strongly vested in the subject of colour,
being the proud product of one of the most prominent families in
the multi-racial world of Jamaica.When she was born there in 1949
that country had, although inadequate, more progressive and
inclusive race relations than anywhere else. In her first eighteen
years she lived through the transitional period from colonial
heyday to independence in 1962, to the subsequent political and
demographic changes. Jamaicans hold very dear the concept of their
national motto 'Out of Many One People', and she understands the
nuances whereby all Jamaicans, irrespective of colour, are regarded
as members of the Black Community. Her lack of prejudice allows her
to examine the sometimes difficult past with welcome objectivity
and refreshing candour, and Jamaica has continued to spearhead many
of the positive changes taking place in larger countries like the
United States and the United Kingdom. Her book is full of welcome
surprises. It takes her unique heritage, courage, insight and
experience to write a book as illuminating and hopeful as People of
Colour and the Royals. It is a work which she hopes will go some
way to healing the divisions of the past and consolidating the
unity of the present into an even more cohesive future.
