What immaculate timing. With Prince Charles today finally getting to marry the woman he has loved for more than 30 years, HarperCollins chose this week to bring out Penny Junor's latest Royal biography.
This time, however, it is the House of Windsor itself rather than one particular member of our Royal dynasty that is the subject of her book.
The Firm investigates the Royal Family's relationship to government, the people and the press. Is the monarchy a relic of a bygone age, it asks, or an important part of modern Britain? And how will the wedding of Charles and Camilla affect people's attitudes to the royals?
