John Marshall (c.1784-1837) was a naval officer and biographer. He first went to sea at the age of nine, and by the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 had reached the rank of lieutenant. After the war, he started to research the lives of contemporary high-ranking naval officers, some of whose service reached as far back as 1760. These volumes, first published between 1823 and 1830, contain the results of this monumental research, and demonstrate the new 'cult' of the navy in the early nineteenth century. Some of the biographies were contributed by the officers themselves, with others containing private or official letters and other records. Organised according to seniority in rank, these volumes contain a wealth of fascinating information on the careers of naval officers and battles and wars in which they took part. Volume 4, Part 1, contains the continuation of biographies of commanders.

ROYAL BIOGRAPHIES VOLUME 4: Charles and Diana - 2 Books in 1 Featuring... *Prince Charles*Princess Diana 2 Great Books in 1! Prince Charles Edward VII waited for over 59 years to accede to the throne. Prince Charles passed that milestone as far back as 2011. Although he still waits to accede to the throne, his role within the royal family has grown as his mother's has receded with age. But it has been a long journey. Few heirs will have fallen and risen in the eyes of the public as much as our current Prince of Wales. This book charts his life. From his early days brought up by nannies - one extremely tough, the other loving and kind. His close relationship with this grandmother, through university, the military and his many attempts to find a love to rival the one he could not pursue. His marriage made in heaven, which would so soon descend to hell. But also, the good times; his sons, his growing closeness to his parents, his ultimate marriage to the woman he loved for so much of his life. This is Prince Charles' story - the man who would be king. Princess Diana On a small island in the grounds of Althorp House, an impressive stately home in rural Northamptonshire, lies the resting place of a true modern icon. Lady Diana Spencer. One time wife of the heir to the throne and mother to two sons, one of whom will most probably one day be king. Challenger to the established protocols of the monarchy, a woman determined to do it her way. Trend setter, humanitarian, darling of the public. A person who appeared to have everything but whose life would end in tragedy at just thirty-six years of age. The People's Princess...this is her story.

Perfect for fans of The Crown, this captivating biography from a New York Times bestselling author follows Queen Elizabeth II and her sister Margaret as they navigate life in the royal spotlight. They were the closest of sisters and the best of friends. But when, in a quixotic twist of fate, their uncle Edward Vlll decided to abdicate the throne, the dynamic between Elizabeth and Margaret was dramatically altered. Forever more Margaret would have to curtsey to the sister she called 'Lillibet.' And bow to her wishes. Elizabeth would always look upon her younger sister's antics with a kind of stoical amusement, but Margaret's struggle to find a place and position inside the royal system—and her fraught relationship with its expectations—was often a source of tension. Famously, the Queen had to inform Margaret that the Church and government would not countenance her marrying a divorcee, Group Captain Peter Townsend, forcing Margaret to choose between keeping her title and royal allowances or her divorcee lover. From the idyll of their cloistered early life, through their hidden war-time lives, into the divergent paths they took following their father's death and Elizabeth's ascension to the throne, this book explores their relationship over the years. Andrew Morton's latest biography offers unique insight into these two drastically different sisters—one resigned to duty and responsibility, the other resistant to it—and the lasting impact they have had on the Crown, the royal family, and the ways it adapted to the changing mores of the 20th century.

ROYAL BIOGRAPHIES VOLUME 2: Harry and Meghan - 2 Books in 1 Featuring... *Prince Harry*Meghan Markle 2 Great Books in 1! Prince Harry Thank you for choosing this book. In it we will look at the life of a young royal who has helped to bring the monarchy into the 21st century. As a central part of the slimmed down House of Windsor that his father, Prince Charles, has brought about, Harry is a man for today. Along with his brother and sister in law, Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, he is the face of a monarchy for the twenty-first century. A man who is determined to combine living his own life with public duty. Who is keen to develop his own relationships as privately as possible, while doing immeasurable amounts of good for the country - and world - as a whole. This is the story of a modern prince. Meghan Markle In 2017, American cable television actress Meghan Markle topped Google's annual list of the most searched actors of the year. This would be her second year in a row. She bested, for example, the likes of box office record-breaking Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot, and the living legend herself, multiple Academy Award winner Meryl Streep. Compared to these two names, Ms. Markle's acting resume is thin. As a matter of fact, for many people, she seemed to have come out of nowhere. Only a handful of things can propel a person from relative obscurity to a name in lights. Even little girls all over the world would know the answer to this - a dashing Prince Charming must have found his Cinderella against all odds. They will marry in a beautiful, lavish ceremony before an adoring public and live happily ever after.

ROYAL BIOGRAPHIES VOLUME 9: William and Kate - 2 Books in 1 Featuring... *William*Kate 2 Great Books in 1! William Even before Prince William was born, the eyes of the world were already trained firmly in his direction. His mother, Diana, was a shy, stunning beauty who had captured the heart of the heir to the British throne. The fresh-faced aristocrat worked as a kindergarten assistant and was only 19 years old when they fell in love - or, in Prince Charles' infamous words after their engagement was announced, "Whatever 'in love' means." Her romance with Charles would propel her into an entirely different life from the quieter one she knew as Lady Diana Spencer. The shy English rose was suddenly cast in a role few people in the world are really equipped for - that of leading lady in a fairy tale everyone desperately wanted to end in happily ever after. Kate In the lead up to the 20th anniversary of his mother's death, Prince Harry - brother in law to Kate Middleton - made some interesting observations about the monarchy. He firstly said that the younger generation of royals feel that it is their role to modernize the monarchy. In so doing, these royals believe, they will maintain its popularity and sustain its role for doing good. They consider that, by bringing the House of Windsor into line with 21st century thinking, attitudes and lifestyles, they will enhance their own standing. But not for selfish purposes, or for self-aggrandizement. No, for far more altruistic reasons. They feel that from a position of trust and popularity they can do more to support charities, help the poor and suffering and improve the world. These are noble aims, and are to be applauded. But Harry said another thing in the interview. In extending the idea of duty and responsibility to Great Britain, to the Commonwealth and, where possible, the world he recognized that one day one of the young royals would be monarch themselves. It was just that, none of them wanted to do it. They knew that they would have to, but just as hoovering the sitting room or putting out the bins has to be done but is not much fun, it is a necessary but unappealing job. We can wonder whether this thought was anywhere in the mind of Kate Middleton, Berkshire lass, when she agreed to marry Prince William? And one day become his queen. This is the true story of Kate Middleton, a Berkshire commoner who will one day ascend to the throne.
