Foruden at give en række portrætter af dronningen og hendes nære familiemedlemmer, rummer bogen også nutidsbilleder af kongeriget Danmark og monarkiet som vores sammenhængskraft. Kongefamilien er nemlig tæt vævet sammen med danskerne og vores fælles land, og i en tid, hvor kongehusene i Europa krymper og møder alvorlige udfordringer, er den danske kongefamilie populær som aldrig før.

Sammen med sin elskede dronning Louise satte Christian 9. eftertrykkelige fodspor i hele Europa ved at gifte sine seks børn ind i de toneangivende kongelige og kejserlige familier.
