When I started this book the print was so large I was instantly reminded of a child writing an essay in really big handwriting to achieve the required page count. Reading the book was a bit like that too. There wasn’t really enough for a book. A decent editing was required but would probably have shrunk the book too much.

A bit of fluff. Not much there.

A good read

A good read

Picked it up because it was handy on vacation. Kept reading it because the descriptions of the Queen Mother's household and daily life were interesting. Burgess (and his other writer) managed to give the readers a mental picture of the Queen Mother, who was by all accounts a very private person.

Mostly avoids the controversial issues that the British Royals were having in the 90s.

Not something to go out of your way to find, unless you want to have specific details about what sort of beverages she preferred, but not a bad read.
