I bought this book as a life-long fan of the Royals and loved it, and so did my mum. Loads of fascinating information about how Buckingham Palace operates and little stories about the Royal family. I love Brian Hoey's writing as well as it is full of interesting titbits but not too gossipy. Anyone keen on the Royal family will enjoy this book.

I enjoyed this far more than I expected, with anecdotes which were not subservient and at times were amusing and at times a trifle bitchy. However, it gave an interesting dimension of the royal household and suggested what a phenomenal amount of work and attention to detail is required to keep it running smoothly and, apparenmtly, flawlessly. I don't think any of it was meant maliciously and at times it was quite poignant and moving.

I loved this, I appreciate that some of it is duplicated but for people who like reading things about the Royal family it is light, fun, easy reading. I thought the 'Not in front of the corgis' was just a witty title but it is actually a serious one as it means be careful what you say, if the corgis appear it is likely that the Queen is not far behind.

Rather Bland Book!
A disappointment. Very run of the mill collection of incidents and anecdotes, based on life within the palace.i wouldn't read it, or even dip into it, a second time!

Not in front of the corgis
Light hearted look behind the scenes at Clarence House whilst the Queen Mother was alive. Another book that gives another view of what the lady was really like.
