Veteran fashion journalist Elizabeth Holmes expands her award-winning Instagram stories series, "So Many Thoughts," into a nuanced look at the style, branding, and positioning of the four most prominent contemporary British Royals: Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Diana, Kate Middleton, and Meghan Markle.
Elizabeth Holmes spent more than a decade on staff at The Wall Street Journal covering the business and messaging of fashion. In 2017, Elizabeth left the journal and now writes for a variety of national outlets, including The New York Times, In Style, Elle, Real Simple, Glamour, Town & Country, and Vogue International, as well as her regular column with Cup of Jo. Elizabeth was born outside of Chicago, found her stride in New York, and now lives with her husband and three young children in the suburbs of San Francisco--but London is her spirit city.

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.
