Adrian Tinniswood
In “Behind the Throne” Adrian Tinniswood uncovers the reality of life at the English royal court: the power struggles and petty rivalries, the practicalities of cooking dinner for thousands, or ensuring the king always won when he played a game of tennis.
We find out what it took to organize Elizabeth II’s coronation, and dance the conga round the state rooms of Buckingham Palace with George VI. We will find out what it was like to dine with queens, and walk with kings.
Adrian Tinniswood OBE FSA is the author of fifteen books on social and architectural history, including “Behind the Throne: A Domestic History of the Royal Household” and “The Long Weekend: Life in the English Country House Between the Wars”, a New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller.
He is currently Senior Research Fellow in History at the University of Buckingham.
