"A Royal Family/En Kongelig Familie" 2004 TV series and book on Christian IX

[norwegianne]

I just finished reading the book "A Royal Family" or in Danish "En Kongelig Familie". It is the book that is based on the television series by the same name, made by DR1, and last shown this Christmas on one of the Discovery channels.

It is really a book I recommend that you read, if you can get your hands on it. You get a pretty good overview in today's Europe over the relationship between the royals, and you also get to know quite a bit about the inside of the historical royals.

It is quite interesting that several of the royals participated in making the television series, and they are also quoted several times in the book. The Danish family are those most often quoted, I think, but Grand Duchess Josephine-Charlotte of Luxembourg, the Norwegian Royals, Michael of Kent, and several others are also in it.

There were a few factual errors in the book, but not overly many compared to other royal books.

Anyone else read it?
