For many, she was simply the last of King Henry VIII’s many wives, but Catherine Parr was much more than that. She had a unique and incredible history all of her own. Catherine was a dynamic figure who survived more than her fair share of hardship. Even before she married Henry, she found herself caught up in the drama of England’s Reformation, and at one point, she was even held hostage in her own home by religious radicals.

The history of women in medieval Wales before the English conquest of 1282 is one largely shrouded in mystery. This misfortune touches even the most well-known royal woman of the time, Joan of England, the wife of Llywelyn the Great of Gwynedd. This first-ever account of Siwan, as she was known to the Welsh, interweaves the details of her life and relationships with a gendered re-assessment of Anglo-Welsh politics by highlighting her involvement in affairs, discussing events in which she may well have been involved but have gone unrecorded and her deployment of royal female agency.

The eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Charles has been heir to the British throne since he was three years old. In this lively and illuminating account, royal biographer Helen Cathcart charts the first thirty years of Prince Charles's life, from his birth at Buckingham Palace in 1948 and rugby-playing schooldays at Gordonstoun, through his undergraduate years cycling to lectures at Trinity College, Cambridge, and subsequent military career in the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy.

King Philip VI was the first French King of the famous House Valois, and he inherited France at the height of its power. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t remain that way for long. His fierce rivalry with King Edward of England destabilized the region, threw France into turmoil, and launched one of Europe's most infamous wars: The Hundred Years’ War. Originally born into minor nobility, Philip was never considered to one day be king. The life journey of Philip VI, the first king of House Valois, is a truly fascinating story filled with unsuspecting inheritance.

As she fell in love, first with Prince Charles and then with her sons, William and Harry, the world fell in love with the young royal family—Diana most of all. With one son destined to be king and one needing to find his own way, she taught them lessons about royal tradition and also real life. 'William and Harry will be properly prepared', Diana once promised. 'I am making sure of this'. Even after her tragic death, the strength of her love for her sons remains an enduring inspiration, not only for the two princes, but for the entire world.

James Patterson tells the most heartbreaking story of our time, as only he can—Diana’s life as a princess and a mother—timed to the 25th anniversary of her death. From the moments William and Harry are born into the House of Windsor, they become their young mother’s whole world. Diana’s faced with a seemingly impossible challenge: one son destined to be King of England and another determined to find his own way. She teaches them to honor royal tradition, even while daring to break it.

En 1898, Sissi était assassinée à Genève par un anarchiste italien. Depuis, l'impératrice d'Autriche et reine de Hongrie est devenue un mythe. Souveraine à la beauté légendaire, fantasque et solitaire, elle a inspiré peintres, poètes, psychanalystes, cinéastes. Voici la Sissi historique, cette princesse bavaroise qui, en 1854, épouse l'empereur François-Joseph. À Vienne, on la critique ; à Budapest, sous le prénom d'Erszébet, on la vénère, car elle défend le nationalisme magyar contre l'emprise autrichienne.

Weg und Vermächtnis einer Frau, die zur Ikone ihrer Epoche wurde. Sie hatte nie den Drang zur Selbstdarstellung einer Marilyn Monroe, nie den politischen Ehrgeiz eines John F. Kennedy – und doch steht Lady Diana Spencer in einer Reihe mit den wohl charismatischtesten Ikonen des vergangenen Jahrhunderts.

Today, twenty-five years since Diana's death, seems the right moment for a reassessment of this remarkable woman. Written by two people closely associated with Diana—Inspector Ken Wharfe was the Princess's police protection officer for six years during the most turbulent period of her marriage to Prince Charles and Ros Coward was chosen as author of the official book by the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Trust—this book is both an examination of the people and events of the time, and an elegiac tribute to one of the most iconic figures of the late twentieth century.

Henrietta Maria is the most reviled consort to have worn the crown of Britain's Three Kingdoms. Condemned as that 'Popish brat of France', a 'notorious whore' and traitor, she remains in popular memory the wife who wore the breeches and turned her husband Catholic—so causing a civil war—and a cruel and bigoted mother. Leanda de Lisle's White King was hailed as 'the definitive modern biography about Charles I' (Observer). Here she considers Henrietta Maria's point of view, unpicking the myths to reveal a very different queen.

Her life has seemed like a fairy-tale come true, yet the shocking truth is that for Diana Princess of Wales, life has been far from perfect. Written with the cooperation and support of members of Diana's family and her closest friends, Diana: Her True Story reveals a woman trapped in a loveless marriage, who has suffered from chronic illness and loneliness, who has gone to the depths of despair...and who has courageously struggled to create a new life for herself.

Christian 9.’s historie er en lang og usandsynlig en af slagsen. Født som fattig prins i Tyskland var hans vej til den danske trone ikke på forhånd givet. Han tilhørte en fjern sidelinje i det danske kongehus, men da Frederik 7. døde uden at efterlade sig nogen arvinger, blev kronen tildelt Prins Christian af Glücksborg. Sammen med sin elskede dronning Louise satte Christian 9. eftertrykkelige fodspor i hele Europa ved at gifte sine seks børn ind i de toneangivende kongelige og kejserlige familier.

I anledning af H.M. Dronning Margrethe II’s 80-års fødselsdag tegner kulturjournalist Elisabeth Saugmann et portræt af Danmarks dronning og hendes familie. Foruden at give en række portrætter af dronningen og hendes nære familiemedlemmer, rummer bogen også nutidsbilleder af kongeriget Danmark og monarkiet som vores sammenhængskraft. Kongefamilien er nemlig tæt vævet sammen med danskerne og vores fælles land, og i en tid, hvor kongehusene i Europa krymper og møder alvorlige udfordringer, er den danske kongefamilie populær som aldrig før.

Den franske prinsesse Charlotte-Amélie de la Trémoïlle (1652-1732) kommer til det danske hof, hvor hun forelsker sig i og gifter sig med grev Anton von Aldenburg, der dog dør efter få måneders ægteskab. Amelie de la Tremoïlles var en fransk prinsesse. Hun blev født ind i Frankrigs fornemste adel og voksede op i Thouars i Vestfrankrig i en familie, der var splittet af religionsstrid. Hun måtte som ganske ung forlade sit hjem på grund af Ludvig XIV‘s tiltagende forfølgelse af huguenotterne og fik asyl ved det enevældige danske hof.
