What a Thing to Say to the Queen by Thomas Blaikie

How exactly does a Queen react when she finds her footman 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 characterful, illustrated book answers these questions and poses many more in its affectionate celebration of the diverse personalities of the House of Windsor. Gathered together in this amusing tribute are a compendium of stories, many never published before, which provide access to a unique world of the royals.
