Summary:
What really happens when the most powerful man in the world invites
the most famous woman in the world to dinner? What is life really
like in the 650 rooms beyond the gates of Buckingham Palace? Who are
the 50 people in the line of succession to the throne? What does a
Lady-in-Waiting do? What do you actually say when it's your turn to
meet royalty?A Year with the Queen tells the story from the inside.
No Monarch in history has travelled as far and met as many people as
Queen Elizabeth II. And no book has revealed the workings of the
Monarchy like this -- with members of the Royal Family and world
leaders telling their own stories, too.Like the brilliant television
series it accompanies, A Year with the Queen shows the extraordinary
world of the Monarch and her family -- from sacred constitutional
talks with the Prime Minister to the razzmatazz of a stay at the
White House and from a seaside stroll with the Prince of Wales to a
weekend in Iraq with Prince Philip. Equally extraordinary is the work
of the Royal Household team -- the man who carries the Crown around
in a box, the team who counts out the medals, the chef who paints the
chocolates, the in-house royal agony aunt....The result is a book
packed with fabulous photographs, important insights, wonderful
anecdotes -- and plenty of advice, too. Ever wondered how to reply to
a royal invitation? Or how to get one...?
