About this deal

What a fabulous book – a must for any royal watcher! It’s elegant, stylish and gloriously illustrated. I didn’t want it to end. I loved the original and innovative approach to the subject, and the new insights I gained. I cannot recommend it highly enough.’ Alison Weir But anyone who works on the show has a sense of how extremely difficult it is to be born into that [life],” she continues. Comparisons to the royal world seem almost impossible and yet she wonders if the reason the show attracts so many top actors is a shared sense of lost self. “The rules are sort of decided for you as well: less is more. Although, of course, Diana broke that rule. She broke the fourth wall, reaped the benefits, but the consequences came hard and heavy.” The next installment of Netflix’s big-budget, awards-laden original series is expected to cover the early to mid-1990s, a period in which the marriage of Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales, was rapidly disintegrating. Is there a trailer for The Crown Season 5? Vogue‘s first star photographer, Cecil Beaton, was entranced by the House of Windsor and the admiration was mutual. A younger star photographer, Antony Armstrong Jones, left Vogue to marry the Queen’s sister and returned as Lord Snowdon. The Queen’s cousin, Vogue‘s Lord Lichfield proved an insightful photographer of royal style along with many of Vogue‘s fashion photographers including Horst, Norman Parkinson and David Bailey. The idea for The Crown in Vogue sprung up, not at all fully formed, during the late spring of 2020 when access to Vogue’s archive of photographs – “the stuff of history”, as the magazine once called it – was difficult. Which was putting it mildly.

In response, a spokesperson for The Crown described the latest instalment of the show as “a fictional dramatisation, imagining what could have happened behind closed doors during a significant decade for the royal family – one that has already been scrutinised and well-documented by journalists, biographers and historians.” Expect yet more controversy to follow once the season airs. What will the costumes in The Crown season 5 look like? I also loved that along with the photos, the book would include some side notes of the history of the family and vogue along with the corresponding photographs. Photos are in b&w or color and there are little synopses that analyze each photo. There are also essays and other pieces that talk about the photos, Style & Substance of the subject.The photographs included are simply stunning. There were several that took my breath away. Some of my favorites were of Princess Margaret. She was so stunning and photogenic. Princess Anne also had some beautiful portraits included.

But one of my biggest guilty pleasures is the British royal family. I just think that the whole system is fascinating and I love seeing all the glitz and glamour. So when I happened to see this on the shelf at work at Barnes & Noble one night, I knew it was something I was going to want to look through.

How were the fittings? “Lengthy. It’s a complex dress. I let the fittings happen around me while I thought about what the dress meant. Why this dress? She’d had it for two or three years. It was super risqué at the time.” And? “She was claiming the space. The way she walked out of that car, the luminosity, the strength of her as that car door opened, she was so fast and so forward. It’s an extraordinary thing to watch. To decide what you’re saying about yourself through fashion… it was a currency. An incredibly powerful currency.” The slippiest came in 1995, in the lead up to her explosive interview with the BBC’s Panorama programme. With extraordinary timing, a second report around how the corporation secured her – which found Martin Bashir faked bank documents that linked some of her closest advisors with a shady account he claimed was being used by MI5, and by extension the Royal Family, to keep her under surveillance – came out during filming.
