{"product_id":"ed-owens-after-elizabeth-9781399406529","title":"After Elizabeth","description":"The British monarchy has been through turbulent times of late. 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? Nothing 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? Ed 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. All 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 monarchy that is future-proof, but which would also see the crown play an integral role in the evolution of 21st-century Britain.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53236599488854,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53350225314134,"sku":"9781399406529-V","price":8.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781399406529_1_b912c266-5490-4044-9226-7278584acf2d.jpg?v=1781212983","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/ed-owens-after-elizabeth-9781399406529","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
