In his compelling history of the modern British monarchy, Richard Tomlinson reveals how this strange and mediocre royal family's troubles began long before the annus horribilis, and why - against all odds - they escaped the fate of their continental cousins. Yet in a new edition which considers the past year's events, Richard Tomlinson argues that the House of Windsor continues to defy the logic of history. It is Elizabeth II, he suggests, who holds the key to whether the throne can survive her death - or whether the British monarchy dies with her.
