This is the intimate and revealing autobiography of the late
Margaret Rhodes, the first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II and the
niece of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. Margaret was born into
the Scottish aristocracy, into a now almost vanished world of
privilege. Royalty often came to stay and her house was run in the
style of Downton Abbey. In the Second World War years she 'lodged'
at Buckingham Palace while she worked for MI5. She was a bridesmaid
at the wedding of her cousin, Princess Elizabeth to Prince Philip.
Three years later the King and Queen attended her own wedding;
Princess Margaret was a bridesmaid. In 1990 she was appointed as a
Lady-in-Waiting to the Queen Mother, acting also as her companion,
which she describes in touching detail. In the early months of
2002, she spent as much time as possible with her ailing aunt, and
was at her bedside when she died at Easter that year. The next
morning she went to Queen Elizabeth's bedroom to pray, and in
farewell dropped her a final curtsey.
