Magnificent MonarchsThe Magnificent Monarch: Charles II and the Ceremonies of Power
Anna Keay, July 2008
Buy Online at Amazon.co.uk

This important and original book is the first to examine properly the ceremonial world of an English sovereign. In an age when the king still healed the sick and took his meals in front of a crowd of spectators, a sovereign's ability to carry off this public role could be as important to his success as his command of the army or management of parliament.
The Tower of London

Work in Progress

My current writing project is a new history of the Crown Jewels published by Thames and Hudson in collaboration with the Royal Collection and Historic Palaces. This will tell the extraordinary story of the collection of regalia in the Tower of London, which includes some of the most famous gems in the world. Due out in 2009.
