Engaging, witty and above all a relaxing read. Paxman's voice shines from within the pages. Well written and a book I'd have no hesitation in recommending.

5.0
A thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking book. A rebublican by conviction when he started the book, Paxman considers all aspects of the British royal family, past and present: their ancestry and history; their relationship with their people, and with God; their day-to-day life in the past and these days; their obligations, rights and responsibilities. It's a closely and thoroughly researched book, but witty too, and written with a light touch. At the end he concludes that, with all its imperfections, the stability and well being of our country is better assured by the fact that we have a hereditary monarch, rather than an elected president. I found it easy to agree with his arguments.
