The Making of a King: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy


 

Robert Hardman is an excellent biographer.  I look forward to reading this book, which will be published in the UK (Macmillan) and in the US (Pegasus) on January 18.

Full transparency.  If you order the book (or other items) from my links, I make a few pennies on every item someone purchases through my links.  When I reach a certain threshold ($10.00 in the US and £25.00 in the UK), I am sent an Amazon gift card.  I can more books. It takes about 2 years for me to earn a UK gift card.   Thank you

Queen Margrethe II

 Queen Margrethe II of Denmark announced on December 31, 2023 that she will abdicate on January 14, 2024.  Her successor is her older son, Crown Prince Frederik.

There are few books on the Danish monarchy and its sovereigns.  This is the only one in English about Margrethe.  There is a plethora of rushed "books" on Amazon, published on December 31, 2023.  Do not waste your money.

Theo Aronson's book, A Family of Kings, is one of the best books in English about Christian IX of Denmark and his descendants.
