520 1 $a"What were the British Kings and Queens really like? How did their private lives contrast with their public image? Today, with the Royal Family under the unrelenting, predatory gaze of the modern media, we believe we know all the answers. History, however, is full of surprises and provides a richer and more varied tale of the monarchs. With masterful characterizations of all the modern Kings and Queens, Kenneth Baker has adopted an especially revealing focus for his new survey: the scrutiny of a galaxy of talented caricaturists." "Along the way, in an entertaining romp, there are early glimpses of the monarchical bottom as Pitt interrupts George III and his Queen in their privy; George IV is revealed as the Prince of Pleasure, sacrificing everything - family, wife, scores of mistresses, the love of his people, happiness, health and (in the end) life itself - to its pursuit; Edward VII, as Prince of Wales, is up to his neck in scandal, while his grandson, Edward VIII, loses his crown in one of the great love stories of the Twentieth Century." "Yet we see, too, how an inexperienced Queen Victoria learned the business of monarchy and survived republican attacks on 'the widow at Windsor' to become loved and respected as a symbol of British greatness. Today, as a visible sign of how the British found a better way of doing things than the absolute monarchies of other countries, the second Elizabeth, despite many vicissitudes, commands a respect that, after all, provides a surprisingly positive climax to an irreverent story."--BOOK JACKET.
