About this listen

 Discover the revelatory royal autobiography of the year, with stories featuring Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III and many more.

From an early age, Grant Harrold was always obsessed with the royal family. Glued to the television screen watching countless documentaries on Her Majesty the Queen, it seemed the most unlikely outcome that this working-class boy from Scotland would end up walking the corridors of royal palaces and households.

Starting out as a young and naive under-butler in stately homes and working his way up to the highest honour of serving the King and Queen, this memoir charts Grant's extraordinary journey to the highest levels of royal society.

The relationship between the king and his staff has always been shrouded in mystery, but in this compelling autobiography, one of Britain's top royal experts reveals his story for the first time and shares insight and never-before-heard stories about his time in royal service.

If you’re crazy about everything Royal you’ll love this. Extremely deferential and complimentary to all things HRH. If you want real ‘gossip’ don’t look here.

Mediocre ‘tell all’

Ive been totally engrossed on the tale of the young boy working towards his dream of work for the royal family. Grant has lived an amazing life and really tells the inside story of working for our wonderful royal family that he clearly respects and holds in high regards.
Its amazing to see what life is like behind the scenes and how th3 family are, its endearing how he follows his childhood dreams.
I hope he gets to buy his own castle one day.
Bravo.
