Totuus otsikoiden takaa - paljastava elämäkerta Britannian kuningashuoneesta. Kate Middletonin elämäntarina on kuin nykypäivän prinsessasatu. Miten Walesin prinsessa Catherinesta tuli se nainen, joka hän tänään on? Tavallisista oloista lähtöisin oleva älykäs ja kunnianhimoinen tyttö tapaa yliopistossa prinssin, joka aikanaan perii valtaistuimen. He rakastuvat, ja heidät vihitään vuonna 2011. Catherine ihastuttaa tarttuvalla hymyllään, tyylivarmuudellaan ja maanläheisyydellään. Catherinella on vankka työetiikka, hän on vaatimaton ja kykenee nauramaan itselleen. Lisäksi hän ja William ovat ihmisinä lämpimiä ja helposti lähestyttäviä. Kaikki nämä ansiot ovat tehneet tästä dynaamisesta parista kuningassuvun suosituimmat jäsenet. Vastaan on kuitenkin tullut myös ikäviä kommentteja ja paljastuksia - varsinkin Catherinen ja Williamin väleistä prinssi Harryyn ja Meghan Markleen, samoin kuin Catherinen sairastumisesta. Ison-Britannian monarkia käy tällä hetkellä läpi muutosta, ja ilmassa väreilee odotus siitä, että Walesin prinsessa Catherinesta tulee jonain päivänä kuningatar. Palkittu bestsellerkirjailija ja hovin kirjeenvaihtaja Robert Jobson tunnetaan tiiviistä suhteistaan Ison-Britannian kuningashuoneeseen. Tämän teoksen tavoitteena Jobsonilla oli selvittää kuninkaallisten lähipiirin kanssa käytyjen virallisten ja epävirallisten keskustelujen pohjalta, mikä on tehnyt Catherinesta sen naisen, joka hän tänään on.

NOW REVISED AND UPDATED TO INCLUDE THE CORONATION 'To Charles, being monarch has nothing to do with power - he believes his role is to lead. It is up to others whether they choose to follow.' When Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II died in September 2022, it sent shockwaves around the world. The longest reigning and oldest monarch, at ninety-six years of age, she had just publicly celebrated her Platinum Jubilee in June 2022. The Queen's death meant the passing of the Crown to her son, HRH Charles, Prince of Wales, her controversial, earnest, and outspoken heir, who had long lived in the shadow of her mystique. King Charles III's own life has been marred by scandal and myth, but who is the real man behind the Crown? In this revised and updated edition, renowned royal correspondent and author Robert Jobson examines the life of our new King, and his passions, purpose, and motivations. Published in paperback alongside the King's 75th birthday, Our King considers the life of the man and the monarch, reflecting on how his values and beliefs continue to shape him as he carries out this monumental role.

Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, is destined one day to be king.

In public, William appears calm, balanced and determined. He is passionate about safeguarding the environment and helping to protect species under threat of extinction. The Duke and his wife have also worked tirelessly to remove the stigma that continues to mark mental health problems. In private, however, those close to him say that William, while being a dedicated servant of the Crown can defy his calm, family-guy public demeanour. This is the definitive account - insightful and nuanced - of the life of the Duke of Cambridge as he approaches his milestone birthday.

An exhaustive and revealing biography of Britain's new monarch, King Charles III, with fresh reporting by the journalist the Wall Street Journal dubbed the Godfather of royal reporting. With exclusive interviews and extensive research, King Charles delivers definitive insight into the extraordinary life of His Royal Highness, former Prince of Wales, as he takes the throne, a watershed moment in modern history and in the British monarchy. New York Times bestselling author Robert Jobson debunks the myths about the man who became king, going beyond banal, bogus media caricatures of Charles to tell his true story. Jobson--who has spent nearly thirty years chronicling the House of Windsor, and has met Charles on countless occasions--received unprecedented cooperation from Clarence House, what was the Prince's office, in writing this illuminating biography. King Charles divulges the full range of Charles's profoundly held political beliefs: the United Kingdom's special relationship to the United States, climate change, Brexit, and immigration--to ultimately portray the kind of monarch Charles III will be. Jobson taps a number of sources close to the now-King who have never spoken on the record before, plus members of the Royal Household who have served Charles during his decades of public life. This comprehensive profile also reveals the late Queen Elizabeth's plans to transition Charles to the throne; how at her insistence he already reads all government briefings; and why he feels it is his constitutional duty to relay his thoughts to ministers in his controversial black spider memos. Moreover, King Charles reveals the truth about Charles's deeply loving but occasionally volatile relationship with his second wife and chief supporter, Camilla. The result is an intriguing new portrait of a man who at last has become king.

When Princess Elizabeth became Queen on 6 February 1952, few could have anticipated that she would go on to become Britain’s longest-reigning monarch; a figure revered around the world for her wisdom, dedication and sense of duty. Seventy years on, and Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee will see the nation come together to celebrate a truly historic landmark. Over a special, four-day bank holiday weekend in early June 2022, millions of well-wishers from the UK, the Commonwealth and beyond will take part in a spectacular mixture of traditional pageantry, technological displays and public events. The highlight will be the Platinum Jubilee Pageant, which will see 6,500 performers and participants from across the UK and the Commonwealth parade past Buckingham Palace and along The Mall in front of vast crowds and the world’s media. Accompanying this unique and joyous occasion, Her Majesty The Queen: The Official Platinum Jubilee Pageant Commemorative Album charts the trials and triumphs of The Queen’s 70-year reign and explores how Her Majesty has provided the country and Commonwealth with a lifetime of leadership, from her steadfast presence during the Second World War through to her current unifying influence at a time of political, economic and social turbulence. The book will also include exclusive written content by Tom Parker Bowles. A renowned food writer and critic, he will provide readers with an insight into the royals’ dining tastes and traditions, and into the history and flavour of royal celebrations past and present. In addition, the publication will feature exclusive content about the Platinum Jubilee Pageant, a programme of events that readers can follow from home over the jubilee weekend. At least half the content in the book is provided by official supporters detailing a select portfolio of products and services that have contributed to the social and economic history of Britain and the Commonwealth during The Queen’s reign. Featuring more than 250 photographs from throughout The Queen’s life, the fully illustrated hardback publication is the only book product licensed by the Platinum Jubilee Pageant and permitted to carry the official logo; as part of the agreement, our brand and book will be used throughout the televised event and weekend celebrations.

For decades Prince Philip shared the Queen’s burden of office without upstaging her, always privately providing reassurance and advice but never overstepping the boundaries of his supporting role. It was an unforgiving position – a challenge for anyone – but one that he met head on. He remained the Queen’s adviser and closest confidant and was known as such the world over. That said, he was wise enough to recognise his limitations and the constraints of his role. He always seemed to instinctively know when it was time to step back and let his wife take the lead. His job was, after all, to allow her star to shine. Robert Jobson’s magnificent biography of the Duke of Edinburgh tells the full story of his remarkable life and achievements, and how, after his marriage in 1947 to Princess Elizabeth, this dedicated military man spent so much of his life dutifully supporting his wife. Though he created a role for himself as a determined moderniser and environmental campaigner, and through the Duke of Edinburgh Awards, encouraged young people to reach their potential, it was perhaps his greatest achievement to have been a loyal husband and companion, and a loving father and grandfather.
