I listened to this all over a lonely Bank Holiday weekend and it took me to another place.

As a life long Royalist I look at them now as just ordinary people in an extremely privileged situation. Crawfie did not deserve the shun they gave her and her cunning feckless husband!

Excellent believable story

At first I didn’t like it, the princesses voices were awful and irritating but after getting used to them and the story progressed I really enjoyed the book.
It certainly affirms how selfish and ruthless the queen mother was.

Very interesting
