This book was interesting, but nothing I'd recommend anyone go out of their way to read. It does little to promote any enduring qualities of the members of the Royal Family.If you're looking for a sleek peek into the daily life of the queen, you'll love this book. I admit I now know more about the running of a castle than I ever wanted to. It is very well written and researched. But it really paints a picture of a cold, tight fisted family. It made me change my opinion of the Royals - and not for the better.There are chapters devoted to the staff wages (appalling!), to the staff duties (insane!), and even individual quirks of the family members.
