The Great Survivors by Peter Conradi

At a time when Western society appears to be demanding more equality and democracy, people's fascination with monarchies shows no signs of waning. Taking the reader on a journey between past and present, into a world populated by great celebrities such as Wallis Simpson, Grace Kelly and Princess Diana, as well as lesser-known and slightly murkier aristocratic figures, The Royals of Britain and Europe analyses the reasons behind this anachronistic paradox by looking at the history of the main European dynasties and providing a keyhole glimpse into their world, their lives and their secrets.
Peter Conradi is an author and journalist. He works for the Sunday Times and his last book was The King's Speech: How One Man Saved the British Monarchy made into a successful movie starring Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush.
