About the Book

Fully authorised by The Film and Television Charity and by Buckingham Palace, this book will celebrate the iconic Royal Film Performances. For nearly eight decades, the Royal family has been gracing the red carpet to see the most eagerly anticipated film of the year. Since 1946, The Royal Film Performance has been an annual highlight of the entertainment social calendar, where cinema's most famous icons have come face to face with royalty. With authors Gareth Owen and Robert Sellers, dive into the glitz, glamour and regal encounters of each Royal Film Performance, the memorable moments and the fascinating stories. From Marilyn Monroe's nervous encounter with Queen Elizabeth II to the cheeky remarks of Jayne Mansfield, witness the intersection of cinema's luminaries and royalty. As the curtain rises on this cinematic celebration, The Royal Film Performance: A Celebration pays homage to the stars, the royals and the unsung heroes of the industry, sure to delight fans of the royal family and cinema aficionados alike. AUTHOR: Robert Sellers was born in Leeds in 1965. Following graduation from drama school, he dreamt of a career on stage and screen. Alas, despite a few walk-on roles, the world has been spared his acting, which is perhaps all for the best. Instead, he turned to film journalism - why not write about the medium he loves if he couldn't appear in it. Since the early 90s, he has written numerous biographies, books on film and TV and popular culture including the bestselling Hellraisers (Preface, 2009). His book The Battle for Bond was the subject of controversial litigation and for a time was banned in Britain. 150 colour, 150 b/w illustrations

About the Author :
ROBERT SELLERS graduated from drama school dreaming of a career on stage and screen, but ultimately decided on film journalism instead. Since the early 1990s, he has written numerous features for national press, as well as biographies and books on film and TV and popular culture, including the bestselling Hellraisers (Preface, 2009). GARETH OWENS graduated with a degree in Applied Physics in 1994, and then ran off to join the film industry. After opening a production company at Pinewood Studios, he worked with director Edgar Wright in raising finance for his first feature and then, in 2002, moved downstairs into Sir Roger Moore’s office to become his personal manager, executive PA and ghostwriter up until the actor’s passing in 2016.
