Now, in her most personal book yet, she takes us behind those palace walls into a thousand years of history, sharing how she became familiar with the princesses and princes, courtiers and servants who'd walked those corridors and cloisters before her, from Anne Boleyn to Princess Margaret. With her trademark warmth and scholarship, Lucy gives us a different perspective on royal life over the centuries, introducing us not only to its pageantry but also its pain, particularly for women. Prepare to be enthralled and enlightened as Lucy reveals the plots, passion and power at the heart of Britain's royal past. Show more
