It's ugly bitter and cold out there, and my brain felt focused so I dove into a book for the first time in awhile. I had purchased a stash of them before Christmas but never really got into the reading.
New year, new focus. Let's read.
The first book I chose was Lady in Waiting: My extraordinary life in the shadow of the Crown.
Anyone who follows me knows I am a huge follower of the Royal Family ( not stalker paparazzo level though). I thought this would be an interesting insight from the point of view of some from the Ton, but not of the royal family.
It took me a bit to get into it, and once I did, I realized the tie in to Netflix The Crown. It is the wedding of Anne and her husband Colin, that princess Margaret is at, when she meets Tony for the first time. He was the photographer.
I found the details of how Mustique came about to be very interesting. It also gives a different glimpse of Princess Margaret than I have read about before.
Overall, though, it wasn't a book I will re-read. I found it to be a bit name droppy, more than stories. The behaviour of Colin, her husband, was a big turn off. I can't imagine living that life with him.
Reading reviews on amazon, I see people either loved it or hated it.
Have you dived into this tell all?
