One of the best books on the British Royal Family

I had read this book before, but just re-read it this weekend.It is one of the best books on the British Royal Family that I have read. The author's insights and observations are right on target. It was published in 1993 before the tragic death of Princess Diana, but that does not change his thoughts on the problems of the monarchy. Nothing will change until the death of Queen Elizabeth II as she is too bound up in tradition to modernize. The whole family lives in a time warp.I recommend this book highly to anyone who is interested in the history of the House of Windsor and how it is crumbling.
