Think billion-dollar-earning golfer Tiger Woods is well-paid? Not “when compared with the charioteers of ancient Rome.”
Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed memorials may be about to be removed from Harrods
Not unexpectedly, the memorials’ creator, Mohamed Al Fayed, thinks the statue of his son Dodi Fayed and Princess Diana should remain in the department store, saying, “It is the only memorial to the Princess in this country, if one discounts the misconceived municipal waterworks in Hyde Park.”
You can see a photo of the full statue here. It’s awfully cheesy, in my opinion, but is Mr. Al Fayed right? Is this better than nothing?
Once again it’s time for a sneak peek at the new royalty books scheduled to be published next month. As always, publication dates are subject to change.
The Royals by the editors of People Magazine. Looks at the “lives, loves, and secrets” of the world’s royals. Revised and updated for 2010.
Mary Tudor: Princess, Bastard, Queen by Anna Whitelock. Biography that presents England’s Queen Mary I as a complex figure of immense courage and humanity.
Elizabeth’s Women by Tracy Borman. About female friends, rivals, and foes who shaped the life of England’s Queen Elizabeth I.
Queen Anne’s American Kings by Richmond Pugh Bond. In 1710, four Iroquois visited Britain. They were treated as heads of state and met with Queen Anne.
Rival to the Queen by Carrolly Erickson. Novel about the bitter romantic rivalry between Queen Elizabeth I and her cousin Lettice Knollys.
For the King’s Favor by Elizabeth Chadwick. Novel about a mistress of England’s King Henry II.
The Countess and the King by Susan Holloway Scott. Novel about Katherine Sedley, mistress of Britain’s King James I.
I’ll publish the full list of new books on the Royal Books page on September 1.
If I could only read one of the books listed above, I would probably pick “For the King’s Favor” because I like historical fiction and I’ve yet to read anything by the popular Elizabeth Chadwick. Which book would you choose?
