What If the Queen Should Die? by John-Paul Flintoff Pdf

Windsor Castle. 1714. Queen Anne is nearing the end of a life filled with tragedy and grief: plagued by illness and cursed by her father to lose all 17 of her children, she now lies dying with no living heir. The question of succession is thick in the air. Will it be James Stuart, the half-brother she has always refused to acknowledge? Or George of Hanover, the cousin who once turned her down for marriage? Neither is ideal: she hates them both. Over the course of one night at the Queen’s Elizabethan ball, courtiers, politicians and ladies’ maids alike seize the opportunity to steer the succession to their own advantage, changing the course of history forever. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them, imperial spy Daniel Defoe creeps through the castle gathering intelligence on their every move for the Earl of Oxford. Before the night is over, Queen Anne will finally have to face the past—for nothing can be resolved until she comes to terms with her children’s deaths and repairs the terrible wrong she committed many years before...

The Last Queen by Clive Irving Pdf

A timely and revelatory new biography of Queen Elizabeth (and her family) exploring how the Windsors have evolved and thrived, as the modern world has changed around them. Clive Irving’s stunning new narrative biography The Last Queen probes the question of the British monarchy’s longevity. In 2021, the Queen Elizabeth II finally appears to be at ease in the modern world, helped by the new generation of Windsors. But through Irving’s unique insight there emerges a more fragile institution, whose extraordinarily dutiful matriarch has managed to persevere with dignity, yet in doing so made a Faustian pact with the media. The Last Queen is not a conventional biography—and the book is therefore not limited by the traditions of that genre. Instead, it follows Elizabeth and her family’s struggle to survive in the face of unprecedented changes in our attitudes towards the royal family, with the critical eye of an investigative reporter who is present and involved on a highly personal level.

An Answer to a Question that Nobody thinks of, viz., But what if the Queen should Die? by Daniel Defoe Pdf

Daniel Defoe, the renowned author of the novel "Robinson Crusoe" offers this politically themed novella. The book looks at the precarious nature of English politics at the time of his writing in the early 18th century. With the recent death of King William III and the ascension of Queen Anne, Defoe opines that the nation has breathed a sigh of relief. But he still feels that that relief may be short lived if the Queen should happen to die.
