Kings & Queens Through the Ages

Which King had a punch-up with his own son in a theatre vestibule? Who said the wrong name in their wedding vows? Which prince was so drunk at his wedding he could hardly stand, and which Queen had terrible halitosis? This book takes a light-hearted and entertaining look behind palace doors at the all-too-human men and women who sat on the thrones and wore the crowns. It covers random regal traditions and superstitions, kickass Queens who broke boundaries and ended up running the show, advice on how to marry a royal, and a look at who wore the blingiest wedding tiara.
