Focusing on their merits rather than their weaknesses, this history and statement of support for monarchy chronicles the achievements of British rulers and figureheads from King Alfred to today. Argued is the notion that, particularly over the last two centuries, the institution has exerted a powerful influence for good outside the world of politics. Examples such as Prince Albert’s Great Exhibition of 1851 and Edward VII’s reputation as a peacemaker are cited.
