It doesn't spill secrets (it was written in 1957 after all), but it's interesting, informative, and well-written. Beatrice was a good Princess and a good daughter, wife & mother (in that order, actually), and an intelligent woman who was molded by her straightlaced upbringing as the youngest child of her mother, Queen Victoria. There is a particularly interesting appendix regarding Prince Alexander of Battenberg, his reign as Prince of Bulgaria, and the Princess Victoria of Prussia, which has information that I'd never seen in any other book. Recommended.
