Hilary Mantel on "Royal Bodies"

Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge. Hilary Mantel would recommend she read Caroline Weber's Queen of Fashion: What Marie Antoinette Wore to the Revolution.

When I started to do preliminary research for material to post to this blog related to Hilary Mantel and Wolf Hall, I found that Hilary Mantel had given a lecture called "Royal Bodies," which is published in the London Review of Books in both sound and print format. This essay apparently ruffled a lot of feathers. I found it interesting to read, being in the middle of Wolf Hall, especially in light of the situation of the wives of Henry VIII as related in the book.
