Royal Affairs by Leslie Carroll

The title says it all here! One I've reread several times, this debut book, published in 2008, is both witty and interesting, as well as a great companion to any non-fiction book about the British monarchy. It's also just a good, fun, easy read on it's own. Starting with Henry II all the way down to Charles and Diana, Carroll tells all, and somehow makes the well known worth reading about all over again. She's also written two follow ups: Notorious Royal Marriages and Royal Pains, and if you like this book, I highly reccomend those too. This is also a good read for those that love their history mixed with scandal (and really, who doesn't?). 5 out of 5 stars :-)
