内容简介

The origins of our Royal Family can be traced back to the reign of George IIl in the 18th century, although it was not until 1917 that anti-German feeling led　George V to discard the historic name of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and adopt the family name of 'Windsor', applying it to the title of the Royal House.

During the last quarter of a century, the media, and it might be said the public's　fascination with the Royals has grown to unprecedented levels and, for the most part, remains undiminished. The House of Windsor has had to adapt to increasing press and public scrutiny during this time, and accept that the days of　unquestioning reverence have passed. The Royal Family remains deeply enshrined as an institution, providing a sense of enduring stability and order, and its　contributions to our cultural and social history through charity work and official Royal engagements is undeniable. This book is a 'right royal' celebration of a truly remarkable family - a story told in pictures taken from the archives of the Daily Mail, many of which are seen here in print for the first time.
