Reseña del editor

The Reader’s Digest Magazine has a long
and close association with the Royal
Family. This book, reproduced from the
magazine archives, features the best of
those accounts. There are first-person
recollections – such as a Saskatchewan
man’s memories of the royal visit of
George VI and Queen Elizabeth to
Moose Jaw, Canada in 1939, profiles of
family members and even a special Silver
Jubilee Supplement.
These are royal writings from less
frenetic decades, featuring memorable
insights: Prince Charles, queueing for his
5s 6d dinner at Cambridge University
beneath a portrait of his ancestor, Henry
VIII; the late Queen Mother “laying
a foundation stone as if she has just
descovered a new and delightful way of
spending an afternoon” plus surprising
details of the household (from 1957);
“Sometimes, perhaps one evening in 20,
she and Philip can dine alone.”

Biografía del autor

Jennie Bond was the BBC’s royal
correspondent for 14 years, covering
a period of many changes for the
monarchy. She is the author of Reporting
Royalty, which tells the story of those
years, and Elizabeth, an illustrated
biography of the Queen.
