Description

It was an immense privilege to spend time looking through these extraordinary original images. If they were distressed, torn, or marked up in crayon, then so much the more fascinating. These were historical objects, every tear and blemish a witness to the royal century. Of interest, for their Royal Wedding issue, Princess Marina, who married Prince George, Duke of Kent and George V’s fourth son, in 1934, became the first royal to appear on a Vogue cover.

The slippiest came in 1995, in the lead up to her explosive interview with the BBC’s Panorama programme. With extraordinary timing, a second report around how the corporation secured her – which found Martin Bashir faked bank documents that linked some of her closest advisors with a shady account he claimed was being used by MI5, and by extension the Royal Family, to keep her under surveillance – came out during filming.What a fabulous book - a must for any royal watcher! It's elegant, stylish and gloriously illustrated. I didn't want it to end. I loved the original and innovative approach to the subject, and the new insights I gained. I cannot recommend it highly enough.' Alison Weir The idea for The Crown in Vogue sprung up, not at all fully formed, during the late spring of 2020 when access to British Vogue’s archive of photographs—“the stuff of history”, as the magazine once called it—was difficult. Which was putting it mildly.

But one of my biggest guilty pleasures is the British royal family. I just think that the whole system is fascinating and I love seeing all the glitz and glamour. So when I happened to see this on the shelf at work at Barnes & Noble one night, I knew it was something I was going to want to look through.

Is there a trailer for ‘The Crown’ Season 4?

There is also a Family Tree of the Royal Family with Queen Victoria and Prince Albert at the top, coming down through to Prince William’s generation. Plus, his children and Harry’s are included, as well. Read more: Everything You Need To Know About ‘The Crown’ Season 5 Is there a trailer for ‘The Crown’ Season 4? But anyone who works on the show has a sense of how extremely difficult it is to be born into that [life],” she continues. Comparisons to the royal world seem almost impossible and yet she wonders if the reason the show attracts so many top actors is a shared sense of lost self. “The rules are sort of decided for you as well: less is more. Although, of course, Diana broke that rule. She broke the fourth wall, reaped the benefits, but the consequences came hard and heavy.”

In response, a spokesperson for The Crown described the latest installment of the show as “a fictional dramatization, imagining what could have happened behind closed doors during a significant decade for the royal family—one that has already been scrutinized and well-documented by journalists, biographers and historians.” Expect yet more controversy to follow once the season airs.

Five monarchs (crowned and uncrowned); one abdication; one royal investiture; a jewel box of jubilees and many, many royal marriages… British Vogue has borne witness to a century of royal history. As another reign begins, The Crown in Vogue is the magazine’s ‘special royal salute’ to the House of Windsor. I also loved that along with the photos, the book would include some side notes of the history of the family and vogue along with the corresponding photographs. The final season of The Crown will take the series from the late ’90s to the early 2000s, encompassing the tragic death of Princess Diana in 1997. Who will play Princess Diana and Prince Charles in Season 6 of The Crown? Photos are in b&w or color and there are little synopses that analyze each photo. There are also essays and other pieces that talk about the photos, Style & Substance of the subject. The photographs included are simply stunning. There were several that took my breath away. Some of my favorites were of Princess Margaret. She was so stunning and photogenic. Princess Anne also had some beautiful portraits included.
