'Relatively Royal' sounds interesting. Who is it actually about?

It's about the lesser known members of the royal family--the Battenbergs, the Connaughts, Tecks, etc...It's similar to his other books in that respect. I can't wait to get mine! He uses many personal photos of those descendants from his aquaintance with them.

It's Definitely Royal...More or Less, though. Relatively Royal was another one of his books.

"Fans of Robert Golden's two previous books, "Relatively Royal" and "The Golden Book of Royalty" are in for a treat! This third volume of Royal pictures, inside information and tidbits, focusing the junior branches, the lesser known members of Queen Victoria's extended family, will disappoint noone. The author's fondness for the people he is describing and his inimitable writing style has attracted thousands of regal readers all over the world.  Read about the Mountbattens, the Athlones, the Cambridges, the Gloucesters and Kents, the Fifes and Connaughts as well as the four rather unknown sisters of the Duke of Edinburgh and their families. Even the Bowes-Lyons and the Snowdons are there ... "

LOL Larry. :D

I'm definitely happy with the way the end of 2012 is shaping up bookwise. It was a very good year overall. Just the year, I bought or intend to buy in the next 2 months:

Hvidore by Coryne Hall
Dear Ellen
Royal Gatherings
Marie, Princess of Denmark
Four Graces
Dearest Missy
From Splendour to Revolution
Hitler's Herzog
Palace and the Bunker


and now Definitely Royal

I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting but I don't think I've bought so many books in quite awhile.
