Ladies of Spain, las cuatro damas de la que podríamos llamar la corte española: Sofía de Grecia, la princesa de Asturias, Letizia Ortiz y las infantas, Elena y Cristina de Borbón. Cuatro damas cuyas vidas son los ejes de este libro que sirven para repasar el papel del reinado de Juan Carlos I y el rol jugado por cada una de ellas. Un reinado actualmente herido por los últimos escándalos en un contexto de crisis económica, social e institucional; con escándalos como el caso Urdangarin y los viajes del rey. Pero un reinado con sangre nueva en sus venas que, al igual que las monarquías europeas, da un paso adelante en su modernización y acercamiento a la ciudadanía gracias a la pareja de jóvenes príncipes de Asturias y al camino hacia la sucesión que se adivina en el horizonte. Un libro serio, ameno, riguroso, con anécdotas inéditas y que nos ofrece la particular perspectiva de la monarquía española —contraponiéndola a otras monarquías hermanas europeas— vista por un inglés.

For fans of the Netflix series The Crown and from the author of the New York Times bestseller 17 Carnations comes a captivating biography of Wallis Simpson, the notorious woman for whom Edward VIII gave up the throne."You have no idea how hard it is to live out a great romance." -- Wallis SimpsonBefore she became known as the woman who enticed a king from his throne and birthright, Bessie Wallis Warfield was a prudish and particular girl from Baltimore. At turns imaginative, ambitious, and spoiled, Walliss first words as recalled by her family were "me, me." From that young age, she was in want of nothing but stability, status, and social acceptance as she fought to climb the social ladder and take her place in London society. As irony would have it, she would gain the love and devotion of a king, but only at the cost of his throne and her reputation. In Wallis in Love, acclaimed biographer Andrew Morton offers a fresh portrait of Wallis Simpson in all her vibrancy and brazenness as she transformed from a hard-nosed gold-digger to charming chatelaine. Using diary entries, letters, and other never-before-seen records, Morton takes us through Walliss romantic adventures in Washington, China, and her entrance into the strange wonderland that is London society. During her journey, we meet an extraordinary array of characters, many of whom smoothed the way for her dalliance with the king of England, Edward VIII. Wallis in Love goes beyond Walliss infamous persona and reveals a complex, domineering woman striving to determine her own fate and grapple with matters of the heart.
