  An illustrated insight into the British royal family, revealing how the royal family eat, sleep, entertain, relax and work - both in and out of the public eye. Ingrid Seward also explains exactly how one should behave as a personal guest of the Monarch in one of her private hommes and discloses some surprising facts about a country weekend spent with the Queen. Royal etiquette and royal eating are discussed and the author includes a selection of recipes of some of the royal family's favourite dishes. Together with anecdotes, she also aims to present the more quirky and offbeat side of the family answering such questions as what the royal family does with priceless china when it is chipped or how many servants are needed to look after one royal personage, plus revealing some of the more informal and personal details of the family. Ingrid Seward is editor of Majesty magazine and has travelled extensively with the royal family.
