A Royal Life by Hrh The Duke Of Kent
The insights and memories of a member of the British Royal Family - HRH The Duke of Kent in conversation with Hugo Vickers about some of the key events of his life and the reign of Queen Elizabeth II - including never before seen private Royal Family photographs.
A pleasure to read.. a timely reminder of the need for service -- Jane Ridley * Telegraph *
Vickers has chosen an ideal format. With his minimal yet informative editorial interlacing, the voices and reminiscence of family and friends merge seamlessly, giving the impression of gathering round the fire on a winter evening. We realise how fortunate it is for the Queen to have such a reliable, human and sensitive figure to shoulder so many of her responsibilities, and how selflessly indeed he has served his cousin and monarch. -- Nicky Haslam * The Oldie *
