Yes ma'am : upstairs downstairs in the British royal family
Quinn, Tom, 1956-2024
Book
What really makes the British royal family tick? It's a question that royal watchers have pondered for as long as there has been a royal family. And the answer? Well, surprisingly, it's not the royal family's devotion to duty, it's not their wealth or their status, it's not even their popularity (or notoriety!). No, what really makes the royal family tick is the huge body of servants and staff past and present who feed and clothe the royals, organise their days, polish their shoes, carry the deer and pheasants they shoot, and even put the toothpaste on their toothbrushes. If you want to find out who these servants are, what they do and why, in so many cases, they devote their whole lives to royal service, then this book is for you.
