Theo Aronson is the author of over twenty works of royal historical biography, published in eleven languages. Among the widely read are Grandmama of Europe, The King in Love, Napoleon and Josephine and a biography of Princess Margaret. In the course of researching and writing these books he has interviewed major and minor members of Britain’s royal family and members of the royal households, as well as various officials, servants, friends and others whose lives are in some way connected with the monarchy.
In this portrait of the end of aristocracy and patronage from an outsider's point of view, Aronson shares how his life became interwoven with the Royal family and hilariously describes lunching on a scotch egg - with Scotch - with Princess Margaret, bizarre but gracious teas with the Queen Mother, and much more.

He was granted rare interviews with the Queen Mother, Princess Margaret, Prince Charles and Princes Alice, Duchess of Gloucester. But not all his audiences were so formal: as a part-time waiter in a Chelsea restaurant he and his colleagues had to pretend to be fellow diners and so divert Princess Margaret and her party from realizing that the restaurant was deserted, and on another occasion he held up the Queen Mother's car by dropping an ironing board in the street! This is a sparkling and often irreverent memoir on the changing nature of royalty and its characters.* A NEAR FINE copy of the 1st/1st with only minor faults reducing it to VG+.*. n.
