His family had enjoyed an intimate association with the British monarchy stretching back centuries. As King Edward VIII said of him, 'I have never met anyone of royal blood who exemplified in such high degree the ideal of the 'good king.' \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eChurchill and the Crown\u003c\/em\u003e tells the story of Churchill's relationship with the various kings and queens he served during his long political career, from young journalist under Edward VII, through his dramatic fall from grace in the First World War under George V, the frustrations of appeasement during the interwar period and his relationship with Edward VIII during the abdication crisis of 1936, culminating in his Finest Hour in the Second World War under George VI and the coda of Churchill's public service to his final monarch: Queen Elizabeth II. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTed Powell analyses Churchill's writings on monarchy and his role in preserving and establishing monarchies outside Britain. At the core of the book is a series of studies of Churchill's relationships with the monarchs he served. These studies offer a two-way perspective, examining both Churchill's view of individual monarchs and their attitudes towards him. They shed light not only on Churchill's career but also on the changing role of the monarchy in 20th century Britain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ted Powell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0192843788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780192843784\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Ted Powell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447098618111,"sku":"9780192843784","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_47fc82cb-b38d-4209-8314-2b9cb7672f67.jpg?v=1777228812","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/churchill-and-the-crown-ted-powell-9780192843784","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
