Publisher's Synopsis
Peripatetics of the Crown invites readers into the quiet, often hidden moments of monarchs in motion-walking, reflecting, grieving-within the solemn walls of Windsor Castle. Blending royal biography, architectural history, and personal meditation, this reflective history traces the private rituals of five British monarchs as they paced gardens, lingered in chapel shadows, and found solitude in gilded rooms.
From Queen Victoria's lifelong mourning rituals to George III's guarded garden walks, from the doomed footsteps of Charles I to the inner restlessness of Edward VIII, each chapter reveals how royalty thinks, breaks, and endures-on foot, in silence. This is not a tale of thrones and triumphs, but of footsteps, memory, and the spaces that hold them. A book for those who find history in details, and majesty in stillness.
