Sinopsis

A touching and funny memoir of how one man's life became interwoven with the Royal family, seeing them with their guard down as we never do.

Theo Aronson first met the Queen Mother as a boy in South Africa when she and George VI stopped on their Empire tour at a local railway station for a meet and greet. Fast foward three decades and he is appointed official biographer to the ageing Princess Alice, who grew up in the court of Queen Victoria; through this and his later books he has at-home interviews with the Queen Mum, Princess Margaret, Charles et al.

While also a reflection on royalty and writing, the gems you'll discover along the way are hilarious descriptions of lunching on a scotch egg (and Scotch) with Margaret, bizarrely gracious teas with the Queen Mother, tales of the ageing aunts in Kensington Palace and much more.

'A jewel of a book.' Sunday Times

'Compelling and funny . . . I was riveted' Sunday Telegraph

Theo Aronson was born in South Africa in 1929 but moved to London as a young man. Fascinated by royalty since he was a child, he decided to become a royal biographer. His first book, The Golden Bees, was an international bestseller and he went on to write over twenty biographies, including The Royal Family at War and Princess Margaret. His last book was the charmingly anecdotal Royal Subjects. He died in 2003.
