About Sally Bedell Smith
Welcome!
Royals Extra takes readers behind the scenes of the British royal family over the last century. It draws from 20 years of research that informed four best-selling books about the monarchy, providing exclusive glimpses of the royal family in private and the careful planning of their lives in public. My most recent book, George VI and Elizabeth: The Marriage That Saved the Monarchy, chronicles the eventful lives of the man and woman whose early struggles were featured in the movie The King’s Speech. I had already written biographies of their daughter, Queen Elizabeth II and their grandson, now King Charles III, and Diana, Princess of Wales. George VI and Elizabeth is both a love story and an account of bravery, leadership, and resilience during the momentous events before and during World War II.
