In The Royals, Marianne Abrahamsen tells the story of each person in the portrait in short biographical chapters. Here are the stories of royal splendour, arranged marriages and bonds of kinship, but also of illegitimate children, depressed princes, closeted queer royalty and much more. 

 The Royals is a book for everyone interested in the royal families of Europe and in the royal adventures of the past. 

 Marianne Abrahamsen holds a Master of Arts and has many decades of teaching experience. She is the great-granddaughter of Laurits Tuxen and the author of two previous books about their illustrious family, art and the 1800s.
