And who better to ask than the army of servants and staff past and present who feed and clothe the royals, organise their days, polish their shoes, carry the deer and pheasants they shoot and even put the toothpaste on their toothbrushes?</p><p>From medieval times, when the Groom of the Stool oversaw the monarchs lavatorial exploits, and courtiers accompanied the king and queen to bed on their wedding night and made bawdy remarks until ushered out of the room, below-stairs staff have had a unique insight into the lives of their royal masters.</p><p>In this lively and colourful history, royal expert Tom Quinn goes behind palace doors to give a compelling glimpse of Britains royals, ancient and modern. Here you will find the tales of the equerry who threatened to throw Queen Victoria out of her own stables, the junior footman who had to change his name on the orders of the queen, and the lady in waiting who, with Prince Philips mother Princess Alice, regularly set fire to her rooms at Buckingham Palace.</p><p>Perhaps most intriguing of all, we see, through the eyes of serving and recently retired staff, how todays royals live including how the relationship between Meghan and Harry and William and Kate started with high hopes and descended into bitterness and anger.</p>...4793709Yes, Maam311379https://www.gandhi.com.mx/yes-maam-9781785909283/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4607474/image.jpg?v=638567958053870000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259781785909283_W3siaWQiOiIwNzFlYWE3OC0wYzk5LTQzODYtYWQwZC01YWU3ODBmMTMzMGQiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjM5OSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjcyLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjMyNywiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTAtMDRUMjI6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjp0cnVlfV0=9781785909283_<p>What really makes the British royal family tick? Its a question that royal watchers have pondered for as long as there has been a royal family. And the answer? Well, surprisingly, its not the royal familys devotion to duty, its not their wealth or their status, its not even their popularity (or notoriety!). No, what really makes the royal family tick is the huge body of servants and staff past and present who feed and clothe the royals, organise their days, polish their shoes, carry the deer and pheasants they shoot, and even put the toothpaste on their toothbrushes. If you want to find out who these servants are, what they do and why, in so many cases, they devote their whole lives to royal service, then this book is for you. Some servants became utterly indispensable to the royals for whom they worked Elizabeth IIs childhood nanny Bobo MacDonald, for example, was closer to the late Queen than anyone in her family, not excepting even her husband Prince Philip and her sister Princess Margaret. At the other end of the spectrum, some members of staff found their royal employers arrogant, overbearing, snobbish and even infantile. As one recent member of the Kensington Palace team put it: What you get with one or two members of the royal family is a public angel and a private devil! And only the staff see the private devil!</p>...(*_*)9781785909283_<p>What really makes the British royal family tick?
