Robert Lacey
Author, biographer, historian
House of Windsor, House of Saud: the secrets of royal writing
The author of several works which have become international bestsellers, Robert Lacey gained international recognition for his ground-breaking biography of Queen Elizabeth II which was published in 1977. Majesty is still widely recognized as the definitive study of the British monarchy. Other notable works include his earlier historical biographies, Robert, Earl of Essex and Sir Walter Raleigh. The evening’s talk will spotlight his recent work and discuss his choice of subjects generally.Robert is particularly noted for his original historical research, and his intimate studies bring him very close to his subjects. Robert continues to focus on monarchic subjects in his writing and lectures; from the highly topical Inside the Kingdom: Kings, Clerics, Modernists, Terrorists, and the Struggle for Saudi Arabia to the very timely A Brief Life of the Queen.
