Queen Elizabeth had envisioned things differently: After her uncle Edward abdicated due to his spectacular marriage to a twice-divorced commoner, she was able to prevent her younger sister Margaret from marrying a divorced Air Force colonel in order to uphold the honor of the British royal family. However, both of her sons Charles and Andrew, as well as her daughter Anne, experienced failed marriages. Ultimately, her youngest son Edward married the daughter of a tire dealer, and her favorite grandson William married the daughter of a party supplies dealer. This book provides an overview of the British royals, their romantic relationships, and spouses.
