This specially updated edition, released to mark the passing of the late and much-missed monarch, is a collection of warm, amusing recollections from the royal household celebratingĀ the lighter side of palace life. ā€˜What do you do?’ a guest inquired of the Queen at a Buckingham Palace garden party. ā€˜I had no idea what to say,’ the Queen told friends afterwards. As the longest reigning monarch of this realm, the Queen represented stability, hope and continuity. We loved her because she was always there, didn’t make a fuss and was dedicated in her duty even in old age. But alongside her stoic and sensible exterior, she was also renowned for a playful and keen sense of humour, as seen when she delighted audiences all around the world by inviting Paddington Bear for tea to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee. How exactly did theĀ Queen reactwhen she found her footman draped in her jewels? What did she do to amuse herself to while away the hours spentĀ sitting for her portrait? How did she respond when faced with a plate full of Mexican food? This characterful, illustrated book answers these questions and poses many more in its affectionate celebration of the diverse personalities of the House of Windsor. Gathered together in this amusing tribute are a compendium of storiesĀ which provide access to theĀ unique world of the royals. Ā  Ā
