I spent so many years studying 19th and 20th century history that I avoid it like the plague nowadays and by that point (even if it is not possible for the rest of Europe) in the history of the UK you can almost ignore the monarchy. However, I have developed an interest (mostly via the 17th century and Kevin Sharpe's Image Wars) on the relationship between the monarchy and the press -- so I did delve into John Plunkett's Queen Victoria: The First Media Monarch which is interesting.
