Royal women wield a unique, quiet kind of power. They use their clothing choices and their styling preferences to create a visual brand that is at once aspirational and accessible, and to project a sartorial statement that encompasses their values, priorities, and beliefs. For Britain's modern monarchy, fashion is often their most powerful and prominent political statement. And for this reason, it is ripe for dissection--from the tip of the fascinator to the toe of the pump.Filled with hundreds of 4-color photos and presented in a luxurious, coffee table-ready package, HRH will be split into four sections, each covering one of the four royals. The book will build off of Elizabeth's Instagram series, "So Many Thoughts" (SMT), by expanding her signature royal commentary to include deep-dive essays on both the royal women she studies and broader topics such as the cultural history of the hat and the role of social media in royal commentary. And of course, HRH will include plenty of the iconic photo captions that SMT fans have come to love.Think the format of Notorious RBG with the content of The Crown and the social media buzz of The Home Edit.

Elizabeth Holmes spent more than a decade on staff at The Wall Street Journal covering the business and messaging of fashion. In 2017, Elizabeth left the Journal and has written for a variety of national outlets, including Town & Country, The New York Times, InStyle, Elle, Real Simple, Business of Fashion, and Vogue International. Elizabeth was born outside of Chicago, found her stride in New York, and now lives with her husband and three young children in the suburbs of San Francisco--but London is her spirit city.

A Town & Country Must-Read Book of Fall 2020One of Cosmopolitan's Best Nonfiction Books of 2020 The photos are stunning, but the best parts are the behind-the-scenes fashion tidbits sprinkled throughout the text... author Holmes' narrative effortlessly pulls us through the sweep of history, from WWII to Megxit, outfit by outfit. This is a visual feast suitable for fashionistas and royal watchers alike.- Booklist, starred review Fans of the British royal family will enjoy this spirited retrospective, which should prove popular with a range of readers.- Library Journal, starred review ...dives deep into royal style with humor, wit, and heart, into this gorgeous and photo-driven 300-plus-page tome on what Britain's royal women wear and the secret messages those clothes send. Read it once and you'll never look at getting dressed the same way again.- Town & CountryA flattering and thoroughly enjoyable assessment of style choices made by Queen Elizabeth II, Diana Spencer, Kate Middleton, and Meghan Markle...Holmes makes a strong case, in enthusiastic prose along with lavish photographs of all four women, that her subjects' sartorial choices say as much about their positions in the royal family as they do about their individual identities.- Publishers Weekly
