ROYAL CEREMONY
by
£9.99
The pageantry explained
The British have always had a penchant for pageantry. Royalty is perhaps the best example of our flair for ceremony, yet rarely do we apply the magnifying glass and question why the Queen and those around her do what they do. In this comprehensive new handbook, Christopher Lee, international best-selling author of This Sceptred Isle and Monarchy, explains the history and the reason (if any) behind it all. Lee’s authority as a long standing royal commentator and correspondent makes him the perfect guide through the labyrinth of costume and ritual, not only at home but also abroad. The British are not the only nation with a taste for regal theatre…
With hand drawn illustrations from celebrated artist Fiona Graham-Mackay.
