Absolute must haves for every Royal books Collection

Seriously, if you do not have these two books by Theo Aronson  .... Order them.   The late Theo Aronson remains one of the best royal biographers ever ... not scholarly reading, but informative and factual.


Queen Victoria's Matchmaking by Deborah Cadbury

I am not sure Cadbury will be telling us anything new.  Looking forward to reading and reviewing it.

Bloomsbury is the UK publisher.   PublicAffairs is publishing the American edition.
