Behind the scenes of the private world at the heart of royalty, as revealed by a distinguished royal commentator. This is the real story of what goes on inside the royal palaces, as witnessed by members of the royal staff and household past and present. Buckingham Palace is effectively an independent kingdom with its own rules and customs, now explained by Brian Hoey. Hundreds of anecdotes reveal the conditions in which the staff live and work and also their relationship with the Royals they serve. How does one get a job as personal footman to the Queen? Why does Prince Charles still have to send a note to her Page of the Backstairs requesting a meeting with his mother? How much do members of the household earn? Why does the Queen hate men in three-piece suits? Why are the Queen’s bedsheets six inches longer than Prince Philip’s? Why do her maids have to vacuum walking backwards? Why doesn’t the Queen allow square ice-cubes to be put in her drinks?

Brian Hoey has been a writer and broadcaster for over 40 years. He secured the first ever TV interview with the Queen’s daughter, Princess Anne, and was later to become her official biographer. He collaborated with NBC’s Barbara Walters to cover the Investiture of Prince Charles as Prince of Wales in 1969, and subsequently covered many Royal events, including the wedding of Charles and Diana in 1981, and was a commentator at Princess Diana’s funeral in 1997. Brian has written over 25 books, many of them about the British Royal Family given his extensive access. They have all been serialized in leading international newspapers. He has also interviewed a wealth of celebrities ranging from the Hollywood greats to British national treasures and residents of the Oval Office.
