The title of 'duchess' has long been part of Britain's heritage. In 2011, it was brought up to date with the marriage of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, when the Queen conferred a number of titles on her grandson, among them Duke of Cambridge. Catherine joined that select group of the highest ranking duchesses, well-known royals whose husbands are dukes as members of the Royal Family. But another group of women sit just one notch down from royalty, at the top of the aristocratic tree with their dukes. These non-royal duchesses enjoy titles that were bestowed by monarchs for centuries but they are a dying breed: it is unlikely that any more non-royal dukedoms will be created. Here, for the first time, ten of Britain's non-royal duchesses speak candidly about their role and their lives in the 21st century, an era when privilege is an unpopular concept. Each duchess also selects her favourite ancestor in the role, providing a colourful gallery from the 17th to the 20th century. The parallel biographies provide a thought-provoking comparison for what does it mean to be a duchess in the 21st century? The results are often surprising and always fascinating. The title of 'duchess' has long been part of Britain's heritage.

There are only 26 non-royal Dukes in the British Peerage. Their origins divide neatly into Tudor looters, Royal bastards, opportunist generals, territorial, metropolitan or Scottish magnates. The author tells the story of each of these grandees, all of whom are determined to survive.

Not illustrated. 1882 edition. Excerpt: ... and I believe he rarely failed to consult her opinion on questions of importance to himself." Though she spoke English perfectly and wrote, she preferred writing her letters in French, following, no doubt, the Prussian fashion. THE DUCHESS OF YORK TO MR. RAIKES. Oatlands, ce Avril 25, 1817. Il me sera difficile de vous exprimer, Monsieur, toute ma reconnaissance pour la plus jolie des boites que j'ai recu hier au soir de votre part. C'est tout ce que j'ai vu du plus nouveau, et du meilleur gout; et je me suis amusee toute la journee a en ecouter les sons. J'attends avec impatience le moment de vous en reiteree mes remercimens a Londres, et de vous assurer combien je suis sensible a cette obligeante attention de votre part. C'est avec les sentiments les plus distinguees que je vous prie de me croire toujours, Monsieur, Votre tres affectionnee Amie et Servante, F. THE DUKE OF YORK TO MR. RAIKES. Windsor, April 24, 1817. Pray accept my best thanks for your kind letter of yesterday and enquiries in consequence of my accident, from which I am recovering very favourably. Indeed I shall not be surprised if I reach the winning-post before you. At all events, I think I have the best of it, though I do not think either of us is to be envied. I was indeed much concerned to hear that you had been so ill at Paris as to have excited the commiseration of even the Persian ambassador, which from His Excellency's account of Allonby, may probably ere long be extended to him also. I hope soon to receive a better report of you. Ever yours sincerely, Frederick. The duchess was of slight frame and delicate, and, in the spring of 1820, sank under a dropsical illness, and was interred, according to her...

'A pleasure to read... a timely reminder of the need for service' -- The Daily Telegraph 'The voices and reminiscence of family and friends merge seamlessly, giving the impression of gathering round the fire on a winter evening' -- The Oldie 'A remarkable memoir penned by the Duke of Kent, whose entire life has been dedicated to Queen and country... an insider's account of what it is like to be a working royal.' -- Daily Mail HRH The Duke of Kent has been at the heart of the British Royal Family throughout his life. As a working member of the Royal Family, he supported his cousin The Queen, representing her at home and abroad, until her death in 2022. His royal duties began when, in 1952, at the age of sixteen, he walked in the procession behind King George VI's coffin, later paying homage to The Queen at her Coronation in 1953. Since then he has witnessed and participated in key Royal occasions. A Royal Life is a unique account based on a series of conversations between the Duke and acclaimed Royal historian Hugo Vickers. It covers the Duke's upbringing, his army life, his royal tours and events and associations with organisations. Here too are recollections of family members including his mother, Princess Marina, his grandmother, Queen Mary, his cousin, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, and his uncle, King George VI. Other members of the Royal Family contribute their memories, including his wife, the Duchess of Kent, the Duke's siblings, Princess Alexandra and Prince Michael of Kent, his son, the Earl of St Andrews, his daughter, Lady Helen Taylor as well as his cousins, Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia, Archduchess Helen of Austria and her brother, Hans Veit Toerring. Containing never before seen photographs from the Duke's private collection and a new chapter on the Platinum Jubilee and the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, A Royal Life is an unprecedented and remarkable insight into Royal history.

The Royal Dukes is the third and final book in the series. This divergent reflection examines the exploits of Boo the teenager as he reaches for manhood in a rapidly changing social and political environment. But unbeknownst to Boo and his doo-wop buddies in their singing group, the Royal Dukes, the political “doo-whoppers” were already plotting Ellenwood’s extinction. The Old Eastwick residential displacement plot, nay, ploy, deliberately eviscerated and enervated Ellenwood. The power and money of the freethinking doo-whoppers mulishly and maliciously exterminated my hometown. Like Corrine Sykes, they executed Ellenwood, even after a deathbed confession and acknowledgment by the City Council. Initially a majority of the Council opposed the project, but money, power, and politics won the day.
