Rocked by scandal and strife, and without, it seems, a clear plan for the future following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, we have been left wondering: what happens next?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNothing seems certain. Will the monarchy survive with its continuing echoes of an Imperial past? Will young people—disenchanted with the political status quo—find the ritual and practice of the monarchy quite so mesmerising as previous generations have done? What might a republican Britain look like?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEd Owens argues that the monarchy must embrace reform and transform itself radically. No more private jets while preaching about the importance of the environment; no more secrecy obscuring royal influence in high places; and no more hangers-on enjoying grace-and-favour homes. A major slimming down is essential. And it's time the family archives were opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll these issues will have a direct effect on the common good of the nation as it tries to reinvent itself as a modern working democracy and endeavours to equip itself for the coming decades. Ed Owens situates this critical moment of royal transition in its historical context in order to set out a vision for a monarchy that is future-proof, but which would also see the crown play an integral role in the evolution of 21st-century Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAfter Elizabeth\u003c\/em\u003e offers a compelling examination of these questions and more, providing a thorough analysis and insight into the future of Britain's monarchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46829865697516,"sku":"9781399406529","price":54.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/6433353482686.jpg?v=1758265313"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/ed-owens.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
