An estimated 375 people were killed and more than 750 others injured in a stampede during Cambodia’s Water Festival on November 22. Former king Norodom Sihanouk has reportedly pledged money to victims’ families.

Here’s a quick look at some of the new royalty books scheduled for publication next month. (As always, publication dates are subject to change.)

The Golden Prince by Rebecca Dean. Novel, set in 1911, in which the future King Edward VIII has a romance with a society girl.
