As a historian much of my interest in the BRF revolves around their history both personal and as an institution. The buildings and homes, the jewels and titles, the struggles from one dynasty to another...all are fascinating to me. I also thoroughly enjoy the deeper and more personal sides of the royals, especially those who might not necessarily be the "star of the show" like some of the lesser known grandchildren of Queen Victoria, the lesser known children of George V, etc. and certainly I find the relationships fascinating such as those between all the grandchildren of Queen Victoria.
Anywho, I'm in the market for some new reading material and it occurs to me that I'd like to read more about Queen Mary. So far I've put both Matriarch and The Quest for Queen Mary in my cart. Any suggestions on that front? And, for that matter, I'd love to hear your suggestions for any further reading not just on Queen Mary but on the British monarchy/BRF.
So, what should I read over the next few weeks?
