From Publishers Weekly:

The author offers more than 1000 fascinating and offbeat items about Britain's royal family, along with 125 photos, some of which have not been previously published. The question-and-answer categories cover love affairs ("Who once caused Elizabeth II to run around screaming aboard the Royal Train?"); pranks ("Which Prince put a whoopee cushion on a bishop's chair?"); contributions to language ("Which King's death resulted in the 'throne' becoming a slang nickname for the toilet seat?"); and observations on the state of the monarchy ("Who said, 'Don't forget that nowadays we have to compete with Elizabeth Taylor and the Beatles'?"). A lengthy appendix lists kings and queens since A.D. 829, charts the descendants of Queen Victoria and reproduces the "actual instrument of abdication" of Edward VIII. Entertaining anecdotes and extensive research combine to make this a royal feast of regal facts.
