An official History of Parliament publication launching at Westminster Abbey on 9 June 2026.
Regulativ.ai has been selected to appear in a new publication entitled Monarchy and Democracy: A History of Leadership. An official History of Parliament project, this landmark book is being produced in partnership with leading publisher St James's House — an imprint within the SJH Group — and will be launched on 9 June 2026 in the grounds of Westminster Abbey, London.
Written by a team of prominent academics and award-winning authors, including royal experts Robert Jobson, Russell Myers and Katie Nicholl, this beautifully presented hardback explores the evolving roles of Crown and Parliament in the leadership of the UK and the Commonwealth. Rooted in the origins and impact of one of the most significant pieces of legislation in British history, the Act of Settlement 1701, the book documents the shifts in power past and present, culminating in the transformative political and social changes of the past 100 years.
"We are truly honoured to have been selected to contribute to Monarchy and Democracy: A History of Leadership. It is a privilege to be included in this official History of Parliament Trust publication. This project reflects the enduring importance of leadership, governance and innovation — values that are central to everything we do at Regulativ.ai."Jinal Shah, CEO, Regulativ.ai
Dr Jennifer Davey, Director at the History of Parliament Trust, noted that the book not only explores the history and evolution of UK and Commonwealth governance and the shift to a constitutional monarchy, but also profiles a selection of organisations invited to join the project based on their relevance to the themes of leadership, innovation, sustainability and governance.
"Through in-depth interviews with the leaders of organisations such as Regulativ.ai, and by spotlighting their work, Monarchy and Democracy provides a compelling, first-hand perspective on how today's organisational leaders are shaping the future in governance, education, charitable work, enterprise and industry."Stephen van der Merwe, Group Director, SJH Group
The publication's launch will also incorporate the London Press Club Summer Garden Party, attended by more than 300 senior figures from the UK's leading media organisations. The event will include a celebration of the life of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
"This is a wonderful opportunity to honour Queen Elizabeth II and the historic contribution she made to the nation and the Commonwealth. Hers was a remarkable life, one that continues to inspire generations around the world."Robert Jobson, Deputy Chair, London Press Club
Available in both print and e-book formats and distributed on a controlled-circulation basis, the publication will reach key political, institutional and educational audiences across the UK, Europe and the Commonwealth, supported by extensive online promotion of a complimentary digital edition.
