With the Greatest Respect by John Barrett

As private secretary to Earl Mountbatten of Burma for 14 years, John Barratt came to know about his habits, his household and his family. More of a friend than a servant, Barratt remembers Mountbatten's family, occasionally troubled relationship with his wife and daughters, his usually endearing eccentricities, his routines, diversions and sadnesses and describes the day-to-day running of Broadlands. After Mountbatten's death in 1979 Barratt went to work for Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and there he learnt a good deal more about a very different kind of household. In this book he presents an insider's portrait of these people.
