Yes, I am definitely addicted to stories about the Royal Family. Get that from my mom :-)
This one felt biographical, but of course it was fiction.
The Other Windsor Girl, by Georgie Blalock
This book was designed to give us a peek inside Princess Margaret's life, through a fictional Lady in Waiting. I always wondered what a more modern Lady in Waiting did, as opposed to the world of Elizabeth I.
It would appear a lot of it was placating the Royal, providing her with companionship for her outings, and helping to tame, a wee bit, the royal scandals.
I enjoyed this one much more than the biographical Lady in Waiting, by Anne Glencommer. I guess truth is sometimes less exciting than the fictionalized version.
It certainly shows how a life of no purpose (other than pleasure, and a wee bit of duty to Crown), can leave one feeling more than a bit lost.
