For seventy years, Queen Elizabeth has ruled over an institution and a family. She has been constant in her desire to provide a steady presence and to be a trustworthy steward of the British people and the Commonwealth. In the face of her uncle's abdication, in the uncertainty of the Blitz, and in the tentative exposure of her family and private life to the public via the press, Elizabeth has become synonymous with the crown.
But times change. Recent years have brought grief and turmoil to the House of Windsor, and even as England prepares to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, there are calls for a changing of the guard.
In The New Royals, journalist Katie Nicholl provides a nuanced look at Elizabeth's remarkable and unrivalled reign, with new stories from Palace courtiers and aides, documentarians, and family members. She examines Charles and Camilla's decades in waiting and beyond-where "The Firm" is headed as William and Kate present the modern faces of an ancient institution. In the wake of Harry and Meghan leaving the Royal Family and Andrew's spectacular fall from grace, the royal family must reckon with its history, the light and the dark, in order to chart a course for Britain beyond its Queen and to show that it is an institution capable of leadership in an ever changing modern world.

The enduring appeal of English gardens is beautifully realised by
Clive Nichols, one of Europe's leading garden photographers. From
the green hills of the north to the bleached landscapes of the
south, twenty-eight gardens transport the reader into a timeless,
golden age. Each page is filled with herbaceous borders overflowing
with vibrant flower combinations, kitchen gardens that burgeon with
rows of apple blossom, vegetables and sweet peas, water that
cascades forever into pools and fountains and emerald-green topiary
which frames a vista to a sunlit upland. Many of the finest
landscape architects in England whose work is featured include Emma
Keswick at Rockcliffe Hall, Julianne Fernandez at Tyger Barn, Angel
Collins at Bruern Abbey, Piet Oudolf at Hauser and Wirth and many
more, with text that explains and clarifies their design
sensibilities. This book offers total immersion and sheer delight
for any garden design and photography enthusiast.

Romantic comedy about a one-night stand gone wrong. After painful
break ups, two young New Yorkers meet up for the night after seeing
one another on a dating site. Urged on by her friend Faiza (Jessica
Szohr), Megan (Analeigh Tipton) decides to take a chance and spend
the night at Alec (Miles Teller)'s, who wants equally little
commitment from their night together. But as Megan tries to flee in
the morning after the pair realise they can't stand each other,
there's a much more worrying revelation in store; they've slept
through a snowstorm and are now trapped in Alec's small Brooklyn
apartment. Once they get past the initial hostilities, the couple
realise the only way they're going to make it through another day
together is if they try and get to know each other. But will that
make their situation any easier?
