The pacing of the narrative is good. Interesting tales of the inner workings of palace life. This book is well balanced and spares no one. I highly recommend reading this book if you are interested in the goings on of palace life behind the scenes.

I purchased this book under false pretenses. I was misled into believing that this would be a “behind the curtain” look into the lives of the men and women who serve the royal family (which I’ll admit has always been fascinating to me). However, I quickly realized that what I got was something else entirely. I think it borders along the criminal to use direct quotes throughout your book and attribute them only to “unknown sources”, or “close friends”. Doing so only causes your audience to question your authenticity (and in my case, lose interest). From attributing his own imaginings to the thoughts and feelings of the royals and their staff, to making snide, callous remarks about people to whom he has little (if any) relationship to is unprofessional and amateurish. Coupled with that, the author spends an endless amount of time doing a severe hatchet job on Harry and Meghan (I should have known coming in, that the author would be more inclined to flatter the Prince and Princess of Wales to the demonization of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex). All told, this author is a searing reminder of why celebrities (which the author is not, nor will he ever be) desire a sense of privacy. To steer clear from the homemade gutter garbage that is the tabloid reporter.
