But that's a personal thing. <br/><br/><br/>The author discussed the history of royalty, and compared that to its place/function today. Read it after or before you see that Helen Mirren movie, The Queen - they mirror each other. A bit queer they came out the same year even.<br/><br/><br/><br/> <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/900787?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
