**THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**

Veteran style journalist Elizabeth Holmes expands her popular Instagram series, So Many Thoughts, into a nuanced look at the fashion and branding of the four most influential members of the British Royal Family: Queen Elizabeth II; Diana, Princess of Wales; Catherine, The Duchess of Cambridge; and Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex.


Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle are global style icons, their every fashion choice chronicled and celebrated. With all eyes on them, the duchesses select clothes that send a message about their values, interests, and priorities. Their thoughtful sartorial strategies follow in the footsteps of Queen Elizabeth II and Diana, Princess of Wales, two towering figures known for using their personal style to great acclaim.


With one section devoted to each woman, HRH is a celebration of their stories and their style, pairing hundreds of gorgeous photographs with extensive research. A picture emerges of the British monarchy’s evolution and the power of royal fashion, showing there’s always more than what meets the eye.

Editorial Reviews

Review

A Town & Country "Must-Read Book of Fall 2020"
One of Cosmopolitan's "Best Nonfiction Books of 2020"

"The photos are stunning, but the best parts are the behind-the-scenes fashion tidbits sprinkled throughout the text... author Holmes' narrative effortlessly pulls us through the sweep of history, from WWII to Megxit, outfit by outfit. This is a visual feast suitable for fashionistas and royal watchers alike."
- Booklist, starred review

"Fans of the British royal family will enjoy this spirited retrospective, which should prove popular with a range of readers."
- Library Journal, starred review

"...dives deep into royal style with humor, wit, and heart, into this gorgeous and photo-driven 300-plus-page tome on what Britain's royal women wear and the secret messages those clothes send. Read it once and you'll never look at getting dressed the same way again."
- Town & Country

"A flattering and thoroughly enjoyable assessment of style choices made by Queen Elizabeth II, Diana Spencer, Kate Middleton, and Meghan Markle...Holmes makes a strong case, in enthusiastic prose along with lavish photographs of all four women, that her subjects' sartorial choices say as much about their positions in the royal family as they do about their individual identities."
- Publishers Weekly

"A smooth, entertaining read fizzing with insight."
- Financial Times

Elizabeth's book satisfies your curiosity!
I'm finding this read incredibly enjoyable! Packed with photos and all of the insightful and interesting observations, much in the same style as Elizabeth Holmes' Instagram SMT breakdowns are, but she absolutely does have so many thoughts bc she easily filled the pages with new fascinating content! A feast for the eyes and my curious mind. I am delighted by this book, and really appreciate her respectful but honest/factual treatment of all four ladies. Also, not for nothing is it the perfect size and weight to hold. Very satisfying and perfect for gifting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly refreshing!

I am an avid royal watcher, so I knew I had to read this book. What I did not expect was how enjoyable it would be to read. Somehow the author manages to provide a fresh, non-judgmental take on modern royal history. Instead of dwelling on low-hanging, scandalous fruit, the book really pulls the common threads from the work of four different royal women to reveal how each uses sartorial skills in her own way. I have been reading royal books all year, and there were even a few tidbits I didn't know (like how William's red uniform was chosen for his 2011 wedding). I recommend this to anyone who enjoys the fashion of royal ladies, and anyone looking to for a new perspective on the soft power wielded by Britain's #1 cultural export.

Not surprisingly, this is undoubtedly the most gorgeous — and the most thoughtful — book I’ve ever owned. And while I knew the photos would be gorgeous and meticulously selected from following the author’s entirely addictive Instagram account {@eholmes} before the book was even announced, I was stunned at the level of detail, the artful storytelling, the depth of insights... I absolutely devoured HRH. And I’m reading it again, now, as a companion piece to a full rewatch of The Crown. I hope this is only Holmes’ first book — it is art and it is amazing. I can’t wait to read it again and again; I can’t wait to give it as a gift {just don’t tell my friends and ruin the surprise!}! Highly, highly recommend!

HRH is the perfect book to cozy up with for the holidays and at home in the pandemic. I’ve been an avid follower of the author’s for a few years now.. and what started as a fun indulgence has become a passion and has made me rethink the importance of fashion in communicating... not just the fun! Each of the sections are great and there is something fun and interesting for all fans of the royals! Even if you’re just a casual fan it’s impossible not to get excited catching glimpses and stories behind some of their biggest fashion moments. Five stars!!! Gorgeous photos and thoughtful commentaries!!!

This book by @eholmes is a true product of @instagram She started commenting on the outfits of the royals using the catchy phrase, #somanythoughts and it grew from there.
I was a little worried that HRH would be a rehash, but it's not. It has a decent amount of reporting, new analysis and PICTURES. The pictures are just great.
It's a quick read. Not unlike the #AngelaKelly book on #QE2 it's best to be savored with big cuppa in a comfy chair.
Knowing how message dressing is now the norm, not the exception, this primer in how it's done will be helpful, I suspect, in deciphering messages of all women in the public eye.
Welcome to the age of dressing with intention.

I have been a fan of the royals for as long as I can remember, and when Elizabeth Holmes started her incredible Instagram series So Many Thoughts, that fandom became an incredible community. This book is long anticipated and so, so worth the wait. Holmes is an incredibly talented, intelligent and gifted woman, her writing and insights are such a treasure. This book exceeded all my expectations, the only complaint I have is that I’ve finished it and I want more! Beautiful writing, stunning photographs, and a refreshing take on four powerful women. Thank you, Elizabeth Holmes!

This book is so beautiful, and it is filled with absolutely gorgeous photos. I have followed Elizabeth Holmes on Instagram for a long time, so it only felt right to be able to support her work by pre-ordering this book. It has been so much fun to read, and I am still working through it because I want to savor it! I am enjoying learning more about the royal women, and their fashion choices. Before following Elizabeth Holmes, I never considered the meaning behind their fashion choices. This would be an excellent gift for a royal-loving friend.

This book is incredible! For me, a royal family (nowadays more H&M + Diana) fan, this book absolutely served! I’ve loved following Elizabeth Holmes and her content for a while now, and can tell you she made a wonderful piece of work! I literally devoured in one day!
It is much more than just fashion, it is a master class on how to speak when you can’t really talk!

My wife is a big fan of the royals, so when this book came out in November I snapped it up and then gave it to her as a Christmas gift. She's finished the book and really enjoyed the fashion commentaries as well as the multiple pages of pictures showing the royal styles. Overall, this book is presented in a very professional manner and isn't gimmicky or sensationalized.
