Divine Right: Inglorious Survival of British Royalty by Richard Tomlinson
An overview of the British monarchy, from the accession of the unpopular George I in 1714, through the apparently halcyon era of Victoria's reign to the present. Richard Tomlinson suggests that the seeds of the collapse of the mystique of the Royal family were sown back in the 1970s, when the Royal family tried to transform its image and became active figures in the publicity game.
