A Monarch in the Making - Official Coronation Book


A Monarch in the Making From Accession to Coronation is a must-have book. It is the official Coronation Souvenir published by the Royal Collection. I bought my copy at Buckingham Palace when I was in London in September. This book focuses on the "extraordinary transition" that followed the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

The book is divided into six chapters: Accession: The First Ten Days, A New Reign, Planning the Coronation, Symbols of Sovereignty, Coronation Day, and Looking Forward.  

Planning the Coronation features details about Operation Golden Orb - from the invitation and the magnificent robes to the music and the royal regalia.  

Superb photographs throughout.  This book is highly recommended and informative.   A Monarch in the Making is the authoritative source as it was published by the Royal Collection.
