Summary
The Royal Family Operations Manual, written by royal expert and correspondent Robert Jobson, offers a complete examination of a very British institution, looking behind the scenes at the current heirs of a kingdom that has been ruled nearly uninterruptedly by a monarch since 774AD. Chapters include explanations of the:
- Windsor bloodline, family tree and personalities
- Their royal residences, palaces and country retreats
- Military connections
- Charity work
- Annual engagements
- Royal finances, including facts and statistics on personal incomes, state salaries and business interests
- Births, marriages and deaths
- State ceremonies, such as the opening of parliament, the Christmas address, trooping the colours and the elaborate hosting of foreign dignitaries.
Lavishly illustrated with photographs of the people, places and events of the past 150 years, this book makes a fitting celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign as she nears 70 years on the throne.
