Professor Suzannah Lipscomb shines a light on how the image of the British royal family has been shaped by the press, parliament and the public over a number of centuries. Along the way, she delves into the past of Britain's monarchy and uses a range of sources in order to uncover royal scandals. In the process, Suzannah considers how historic royal scandals around excessive spending and a variety of other behaviours reflect the fact that modern outrage over the British royal family is anything but new.
