If you like all things Queen Elizabeth II, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle - you'll appreciate this non-fiction read. If you don't, then you won't.

If you're trying to read up on the modern Royal Family and you don't know much about them besides what you read in the headline, this is a really easy read and you'll learn a lot about them. It's written in a way that doesn't make you feel like you're absorbing too much info at once. The book is outlined by a headline of each section asking a "trivia" question and then the answer is written out in a few paragraphs for you.

If you're already pretty familiar with the Royal Family, then you probably won't learn too much but it's definitely a fun little refresher of info for you!

We’ll researched and playfully written. Having read at least 100 books about the royal family, I still leaned new things that haven’t been revealed in other places. Well done ladies!

I’m a fan of the authors’ Royally Obsessed podcast, and they did such a nice job on this book. I liked the format of trivia questions and answers, so I could play along as I read. And they did a lot of fact-checking of The Crown, which was interesting.

It’s a good introduction to the royals if someone is just getting into them, but it also provides a lot of details for people like me who are followers but don’t remember all of the history and ceremonial details.

Nothing terribly new here. Also not really a "trivia book" as the answers were quite long. Also saw at least one factual error.

[Santanna Rina · Rating 5 out of 5]

Light, engaging, and perfectly paced.

I loved how the book is broken into sections; it kept me focused and made it easy to pick up and put down without losing momentum. The writing style is approachable and conversational, which made the content feel fun rather than overwhelming. 👑✨

I'd only recommend this book to huge fans of the royals.

Pretty basic stuff. But, if you're not very familiar with the royals, then you'll learn a lot.

Not to sound like a 5 year old, but this needed pictures. 😅

This was just okay. I didn’t learn anything new, but it may be better for others who haven’t read as much about the royal family.

[Diana · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was fun but the format was a little strange. Asking "trivia" questions and then giving some answers but the questions could be rather leading and most didn't have quick, easy answers that I associate with trivia.

26 • If you love all things Royal Family as I do, grab a copy of ROYAL TRIVIA by the hosts of the @royallyobsessedpodcast. The book is divided into five sections: the Cambridges, the Sussexes, Princess Diana, Prince Charles, and the Queen. As its title suggests, the book is organized into trivia questions, but the answers are thoughtful and surprisingly in-depth. I’d say I know quite a bit about the Royal Family (this book fit nicely into the dedicated Royals section I have on my shelves), but I still learned things reading this book! Great for someone casually interested in trivia or a true Royal devotee.

thank you to @ulyssespress for sending me this one!
