William and Kate: Romance and the Royals
Prince William is set to marry, not a princess, but the girl he met at university. Is this a decisive break with royal tradition, the symbol of a new classless Britain? Not at all, argues historian David Starkey. From the Middle Ages to the Abdication Crisis he finds plenty of precedent for commoners marrying royalty. By putting William and Kate's marriage in its historical context, Starkey reveals it as the logical next step in a century-long struggle to return our monarchy to its native roots, preserving it as a focus of national identity.
