De regerede i en periode, hvor verden forandredes dramatisk; to verdenskrige og dybe økonomiske kriser prægede deres regeringstid og bidrog til kongeparrets store betydning som nationalt samlingspunkt. I samme periode forandrede også monarkens rolle sig fundamentalt; det danske monarki fandt sin plads i det moderne parlamentariske demokrati, og med de moderne massemediers fremkomst blev kongefamilien nærværende i offentligheden.Bogen indgår i Kroneserien, en serie af mindre bøger om det danske kongehus og relaterede emner udgivet i samarbejde med Kongernes Samling.
