You have been assigned to cover the latest royal wedding. That`s easy enough: remark on the lovely flowers, oooh and aaah over the wedding dress, make fun of the more outlandish hats. Piece of cake, right? Of course; and you know exactly who Princess Mette-Marit is, right? Oh. Don`t want to feel stupid about royal families any more? This book is a basic guide to help reporters, and other royal followers, identify European royalty of all stripes and give cursory information about who they are and why anyone cares.
