Bringing Them Up Royal How the Royals Raised Their Children from 1066 to the Present Day

Everyone was amazed Princess Diana was a good mother. She was an exception as the British Royal Family has not been exactly renowned for their good parenting - at least since the time of Queen Victoria and Albert, who was always telling his son Bertie how disappointed he was in him; King George V was often telling his sons how disappointed he was in them - and the tension between Prince Charles and his father has been the subject of much speculation. A mix of popular history and soap opera with a Royal twist, Bringing Them up Royal reveals for the first time how British Kings and Queens brought up their children and is bound to arouse wide attention and controversy. Drawing on much fascinating new material and discovered documents and records - going back to the Tudors - David Cohen tells a compelling and at times shocking story providing many arresting psychoanalytical insights and twists.
