SEE ISBN 9780754835578 for the newly updated 2022 large-sized hardback edition. Charles Phillips charts the history of the royal families of Britain. Beginning in the earliest times with the legend of King Arthur, Eric Bloodaxe and the real-life history of Macbeth, he describes the lives and legends of the kings and queens of Britain, their consorts and children, and the pretenders, usurpers and regents who played a role in the making of the United Kingdom. Recent royal weddings, and the newest arrivals into the family including the children of William and Catherine and the baby son of Harry and Meghan, are featured.
