Summary
"Monarchies have always used the means of their day to communicate their stature - examples include Pyramids both Egyptian and Aztec, Triumphal arches, columns, marches and ceremonials - and now press officers who handle print and tv. Beyond just using message systems ('media'), a monarchy is a message system - through which the history of a nation is conveyed to and delivered into the present." "Colorful examples of putting across the monarchic message, from the Aga Khans' weighing of themselves in precious stones, to Princess Diana's world tours to publicise causes highlighted in the white heat of monarchic light, are described and discussed in this book. Several original public perception and attitude studies in the UK are reported, which tell a different story from many of the stereotypes developed in the press. The book uses techniques of history, anthropology, social psychology, humor, provocation and patience to explore its topic."--BOOK JACKET.
