Felipe II no fue el hombre frío y cerebral que transmite la historiografía tradicional. Por el contrario, fue un joven galante y un padre entrañable. Supo de amores prohibidos y de matrimonios por razón de estado. Por el recorrido de este audiolibro desfilan las cuatro esposas del monarca, María Manuela de Portugal, María Tudor, Isabel de Valois y Ana de Austria; amantes como Isabel de Osorio o Eufrasia Guzmán; sus hijas Catalina Micaela o Isabel Clara Eugenia y el gran interrogante: la princesa de Éboli.

Il 10 dicembre del 1936 Edoardo VIII rinuncia al trono d'Inghilterra per amore dell'americana Wallis Simpson. Il nuovo sovrano è suo fratello "Bertie", Giorgio VI, padre di Elisabetta e Margaret. In quei giorni la piccola Margaret, che ha solo sei anni, chiede alla sorella maggiore: "Questo significa che poi diventerai regina anche tu?". "Suppongo di sì", risponde Elisabetta, improvvisamente molto seria. E Margaret commenta, candida: "Povera te".

In the early 1960s, Marie Christine von Reibnitz (who would later become HRH Princess Michael of Kent) lived with her father on his farm in Mozambique. Then just a teenager, Princess Michael was entranced by the African landscape, by the wildlife and by the people she met. It was one of the happiest times of her life, and she recounts that it was an orphaned cheetah cub (called Tess) who played a huge part in making it so.

Elizabeth II is within a few years of becoming the longest-reigning British monarch. A personally quiet, modest and dutiful person, she is far better-informed about the lives of her subjects than they often realize. She has known every Prime Minister since Winston Churchill and every American President since Eisenhower. Yet what of the woman behind the crown?

As Maureen Quilligan wrote in The New York Times Book Review of The First Elizabeth, Anne Boleyn "was a real victim of the sexual scandals her brilliant daughter escaped, and a subject Ms. Erickson's sensitivity to sexual and political nuance should well serve." Indeed, Carolly Erickson could have chosen no more fascinating and appropriate a subject. Alluring and profoundly enigmatic, Anne Boleyn has eluded the grasp of historians for centuries.

Este libro es la crónica de lo que le ha sucedido a Jaime Peñafiel tras la publicación de su libro Letizia y yo -con múltiples reediciones-.

Filippo ed Elisabetta. Due vite, una coppia. Una storia d’amore che s’intreccia con la storia del Novecento e l’attualità, iniziata nell’estate del 1939 quando Elisabetta aveva tredici anni e Filippo, nato principe di Grecia e Danimarca, diciotto. Era un cadetto navale, ma anche il nipote di Lord Louis Mountbatten. Un amore celebrato nella Londra post bellica con il Royal Wedding del 1947. Un uomo che per seguire il cuore ha rinunciato a molto, dato battaglia all’establishment, cercato con tenacia un ruolo. Grazie a Filippo, la «Firm» dei Windsor si è aperta al mondo, al suo tempo.

La conosciamo tutti. Ma la conosciamo davvero? Il suo marchio è su piatti, tazze, teiere, capi dabbigliamento, macaron e perfino bottiglie di gin. I francobolli con la sua effigie sono gli unici a non aver bisogno del paese dorigine stampato sopra. Il suo stile, borsetta al gomito e completi pastello, l'ha resa un'icona globale. Ogni suo gesto, sguardo o movimento è osservato, studiato, analizzato.

Elisabetta II è, è stata, e verosimilmente resterà, la regina dei record. È il sovrano che ha viaggiato più di tutti coloro che, prima di lei, hanno indossato una corona. È stata la prima regina a comparire in televisione e anche la prima a dover affrontare una serie di scandali che hanno messo a dura prova la sua pazienza e la sopravvivenza stessa della monarchia. E il 6 febbraio ne ha raggiunto un altro: il Giubileo di Platino, 70 anni seduta sul trono inglese come mai nessuno nella Storia.

Es indiscutido el papel fundamental desempeñado por don Juan Carlos en la restauración pacífica de la democracia a la muerte de Franco, como es generalmente aceptado que durante su reinado España ha vivido el periodo más largo de paz, prosperidad y libertades. Sin embargo, el monarca, que podía haber pasado a la historia como el mejor rey de España, se ha visto obligado a abdicar y a exiliarse por su afán de hacerse con una fortuna a base de comisiones ilegales y tráfico de influencias, derrochando su fortuna política, su gran popularidad nacional e internacional.
