This atmospheric image by popular artist Kevin Walsh captures the anticipation, excitement & public interest surrounding the maiden voyage of RMS Titanic. Titanic left Belfast's famous Harland & Wolff shipyards on the 2nd April 1912, arriving at Southampton the following day, bound for Cherbourg, Queenstown (now known as Cobh) & New York. We all know what happened after this, but this image concentrates on the calm & excitement before the storm.

The Readers Digest Magazine has a long association with the Royal Family, from its early writings on the young Princess Elizabeth in the 1930s to modern tributes to the future king William. This book, reproduced from the magazine archives, features some of the best of those accounts. There are first-person recollections
- such as a Saskatchewan man's memories of the royal visit of George VI & Queen Elizabeth to Moose Jaw, Canada in 1939, profiles of family members & even Prince Charles in his own words. These are royal writings from less frenetic decades, featuring memorable insights: Prince Charles, queueing for his 5s 6d dinner in his Cambridge university halls beneath a portrait of his ancestor, Henry VIII; the late Queen Mother laying a foundation stone as if she has just descovered a new & delightful way of spending an afternoon; the Queens travel tips, under the glorious title: Orf One Goes Again, & even intimate details of the household (from 1957). Sometimes, perhaps one evening in 20, she & Philip can dine alone. This facsimile book offers an intimate glimpse of the Royal household through the years, & charts events that readers can relive & enjoy again, written in the inimitable Reader's Digest way.
