This timely book looks at the role, survival and future of the institution of monarchy.
At the beginning of the 20th century, monarchy was by far the most common form of government. Today, their number has diminished, yet they continue to have charisma. This text examines the common denominators in those countries which have retained their monarchies and concludes with an argument for the role they play as agents of continuity.
