London: Fourth Estate, 2002. Dust jacket complete. unclipped. Maroon cloth with bright gilt titling on the spine. Illustrated end papers. No ownership inscription. Illustrations by Gill Tyler. 104pp. Clean and tight.. Arriving at the theatre, the Queen and the Queen Mother appeared to be having words. 'Who do you think you are?' demanded the Queen Mother. 'The Queen, Mummy, the Queen.' About twenty years ago the Guardian first published two amusing anecdotes about the Queen Mother. Readers reeled to see stories actually printed in a national newspaper that until then had had only an underground existence in certain circles. After that, tales about the royal family became respectable; they were also, quite rightly, believed to be true. Taken as a whole they reflect the contradictory roles we like royalty to fulfil: unworldly and impossibly regal, engagingly domesticated and just like us, or camp, worldly and outrageous. In this affectionate tribute Thomas Blaikie has gathered together a compendium of stories, many never published before, which provide access to a unique world. How exactly does a Queen react when she finds her footmen draped in her jewels? What does she do to amuse herself as she whiles away the hours sitting for her portrait? And how did the Duchess of Windsor and the Queen Mother really get on? This beautifully illustrated book answers these questions and poses many more in its affectionate celebration of the diverse personalities of the House of Windsor.. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Illus. by Gill Tyler. 12mo.

"In 1958 the practice of presenting debutantes at court was finally dropped.It was really too absurdly snobbish andoutdated.But Princess Margaret took a different view.'We had to put a stop to it',she said.'Every tart in London was getting in.'. " . . . . . . . "Late in the day at the Cheltenham Races,it is not unusualfor quite a few people to be blind drunk,and once somebody in the company of the Queen Mother was very far gone.'I have the most marvellous friends,'she said to anyone who approached.Then there was the slightest,dipping pause. 'You probably wouldn't recognise some of them.' " . . . . . . "A woman had just been splattered with mud by the passing royal car shouted at its occupants.'I quite agree with you,madam,' said the Queen.The Duke of Edinburgh who had not heard the woman's remark, asked his wife what she had said.'Bastards!' said the Queen simply."
