Description

Dana Bentley-Cranch. This biography, combining a lively & informative text with a wealth of illustrations, explains how Edward VII, whose reign lasted for only 9 years, became one of the most popular & well-known of British monarchs. During his long years as Prince in waiting for the throne, Edward perfected the art of royal public appearances. The birth of photography, almost simultaneous to his own, helped to disseminate his image & stamped it firmly on the public consciousness. This book takes us into Edward’s world to share his public duties & his ongoing preoccupation with the role of a constitutional monarch & the foreign policies of a rapidly changing Europe.
