* * 'Very funny and astute . . . a loathly feast for
royal-watchers' Hilary Mantel, New Statesman Books of the Year 2018
'Almost every page is a gem' A. N. Wilson, Spectator Christmas
Books 'A complete delight, conjuring up, with a few sharp strokes
of the pen, a mad, exotic species from a world gone by' Craig
Brown, Mail on Sunday * * * When James Pope-Hennessy began his work
on Queen Mary's official biography, it opened the door to meetings
with royalty, court members and retainers around Europe. The series
of candid observations, secrets and indiscretions contained in his
notes were to be kept private for 50 years. Now published in full
for the first time and edited by the highly admired royal
biographer Hugo Vickers, this is a riveting, often hilarious
portrait of the eccentric aristocracy of a bygone age. Giving much
greater insight into Queen Mary than the official version, and
including sharply observed encounters with, among others, the Duke
and Duchess of Windsor, the Duke of Gloucester, and a young Queen
Elizabeth, The Quest for Queen Mary is set to be a classic of royal
publishing.
