“Churchill and the Royals” with Lee Pollock

The Community Library

No public figure in British history had a longer or more consequential relationship with the royal family than Winston Churchill, who served the monarchy with reverence and devotion all his life. But he was never unappreciative of the distinctive personalities who occupied the throne and the foibles, quirks and even peccadillos they brought to their august role. Join acclaimed historian Lee Pollock as he explores the singular relationship between Winston Churchill and the British crown and sheds new light on one of history’s most enduring institutions.
