Books It’s Not Easy to Make a Hero of King Charles, but Children’s Books Are Still Trying Not sure how to talk to your kids about a difficult news event like the coronation? If you’re looking for a book for children who have moved on from picture books to early readers and chapter books then look no further! Roy Strong, a historian and former director of the Victoria and Albert Museum, was only 16 when he stood on the Victoria Embankment in London on June 2, 1953, and watched the “encrusted golden coach” carrying Queen Elizabeth II to her coronation: “The queen’s smiling features and the glitter of her diamonds remain firmly fixed in my memory.

Strong identifies the allure of tradition as the core of the royal family’s power; his book chronicles how various monarchs experimented with, adapted and at times (in his view) “hijacked” the rite, resulting in the “mixture of religion, history, nostalgia, mumbo-jumbo and military display” the world will witness in just a few days. If Little Golden Books really wants to salvage King Charles for younger readers, they might consider painting him sitting before a round wooden door, puffing on a clay pipe, and stretching out legs that end with a pair of oversized, hairy feet.On the book front, I’ve already done a few posts about the Royals here – but so far King Charles hasn’t really figured in any of them.

Charles, then the Prince of Wales, authored this book, and it offers behind-the-scenes glimpse into what he's planted over decades at his home.Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, her eldest son ascended the throne to become King Charles III.

A private view of the genius of Cecil Beaton, reflected through the lens of his town and country idylls, and his passion for interior design, gardening, and entertaining a circle of Bright Young Things. With exclusive articles from The Sun’s archives, rarely seen photographs and a foreword written by celebrated royal photographer Arthur Edwards MBE, this book paints a unique portrait of the man behind the monarch. As we prepare for his coronation, this biography is a brilliant way for children to get to know the man beneath the crown.So, today is the first coronation of a British monarch in my life time and it most of our lifetimes.

Another classic picture book series of all time is Mr Men and Little Miss, so it’s only fitting to have a coronation special! On the publication of the book, author and illustrator Nicholas Allan has said, “I initially wrote and illustrated The King’s Pants a long time ago, but like an old pair of boxer shorts it has been sat at the bottom of my drawer for many, many years, and now I feel is the right time to bring that original story to light for a whole new audience. Royal photographer Chris Jackson's beautiful new photo book is a tribute to King Charles and Queen Camilla. Images of the creation of Their Majesties’ outfits feature alongside stunning photographs and detailed descriptions of each item of the royal regalia, including the Imperial State Crown and the Jewelled Sword of Offering.Andersen Press have picked-up Nicholas Allan’s The King’s Pants for publication in the lead-up to King Charles III coronation and will mount their biggest-ever picture book campaign cementing this as THE book to celebrate King Charles III Coronation.
