'We all know about Queen Victoria, Edward VIII and Queen Elizabeth II, but how much do we really know about other monarchs? Yes, we know William the Conqueror beat King Harold at the Battle of Hastings. We know George III was mad, but what else do we know about his 60 year long reign? We know Henry VIII famously had six wives, but do we know much more about him, other than he was very fat?'
The British monarchy is one of the oldest in the world - dating so far back that even its origins are the subject of debate. Was William the Conqueror the first king of England, or was it Alfred the Great? In this third instalment of the series that began with The Prime Ministers and The Presidents, Iain Dale charts this long history of the English and British monarchy, with 64 essays by journalists, historians and politicians on every individual to have sat on the throne, as well as some who didn't.
From Alfred the Great to Charles III, each essay examines the monarch, their role and what they tell us about British history. Why has the British monarchy, unlike so many others, endured? Kings and Queens will attempt to answer this question, and many others, providing valuable insight into British history and how Britain is ruled today.©2023 Iain Dale

Good place to start if you have interest in British monarchs.
I disliked few things: I simply skipped through Henry VIII chapter. Author made every effort NOT to talk about actual monarch (??). Was it written by Brexiteer?
I didn't like the fact that it wasn't actually mentioned that Victoria's and Albert's parents were actually siblings(!!). It was only said they were cousins.
Narration was indeed poor, with last 20 minutes of Victoria's chatter seemed to have been recorded late at night with narrator dragged out of bed :)
Overall I enjoyed listening to it.
Interesting, good for beginners.
