About this listen

She was described as the most dangerous woman in Europe by Adolf Hitler; Noël Coward said people who spent any time with her were always reduced to gibbering worshippers; she adored Margaret Thatcher and disliked Germans; she found the French comical and hankered for the old days of Empire and Commonwealth. Above all, though, she was loved by the nation and in this affectionate and often hilarious inside story of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, her former equerry Major Colin Burgess reveals what life was like living with the most private of all the Royals.

Behind Palace Doors is a unique and warmly remembered historic insight into one of our longest-surviving institutions. Constantly fascinating and packed with previously untold stories, this is also a celebration of a life gone - and a way of life fast disappearing.

pompose prig

I'm normally a " I've started so I'll finish" reader but not this time apart from repeating over and over that th QM encouraged him to drink a lot its really Me Me and then Me and how he got on with (or not)

whith the rest of the staff -- now anyone who is reasonably interested in these things knows that HRH was fond of a tipple so that was nothing new I suffered it till chapter 5 and then gave up My advice save your money hes on an ego trip!!
