Very inaccurate and boring - By: Karen Margaret Purvey, 08 Aug 2007
After reading hundreds of books on The Queen Mother, this was simply a beat-up to make a young equerry into something he wasn't. It is well known the Queen Mother does not become familiar to staff particularly one with no aristocratic background. Some of the stories were a mishmash of stories previously told by reputable sources. I feel Colin Burgess lived in a fantasy world whilst in service to Clarence house & probably continues to bore his friends & family with repreated anecdotes. For example: the story about him receiving a MVO when a lady was recounting her receiving an MBE goes to show inverted snobbery by Colin Burgess. If he was reallly fond of HM he would not have cashed in on a book she would not have appreciated.

Entertaining froth - By: brixtonite, 08 Nov 2006
Ok I confess - reading books about the Royal Family is one of my more harmless vices. This book does not dissapoint - lots of amusing stories about the Queen Mother. I raced through it in an evening.
