A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Everyone is fascinated by royalty - their wealth, privilege and glamour. World Royal Families examines both the crowned and the uncrowned heads of the world's ancient and noble families since 1900. It includes the deposed - and murdered - Romanovs of Russia, the Imperial families of Ethiopia and Iran; the deposed monarchs of Greece, Brazil and Bulgaria; and of course, the story of the last emperor of China. The existing monarchs covered ranges from the Imperial Court of Japan to the Arab House of Saud as well as the British House of Windsor. It also explores how the descendants of some of the great names of history live today. Lavishly illustrated with some fantastic images of blue-blooded royalty World Royal Families showcases many wonderful palaces and castles, with each monarch being examined with details of history, lineage, wealth, palaces and family trees.
