The Palace Diaries: Twelve Years with HRH Prince Charles

The Palace Diaries: Twelve Years with HRH Prince Charles

by Nicholas Monson (Author), Sarah Goodall MVO (Author)

Synopsis

Sarah Goodall spent 12 years working for Prince Charles as a Lady Clerk from 1988 to 2000 - the period during which his marriage to the Princess of Wales broke down amid a frenzy of media attention. Her experiences of life behind the scenes of the Royal Establishment have inspired this hilarious story of a naive and rather accident-prone young woman whose dreams all came true when she was given the opportunity to work for the heir to the throne. Sarah gets herself into numerous compromising situations, both at work and in her personal life, but she manages to establish a good rapport with her Royal employer. When the fairy tale comes crashing to an end, however, not even a final dramatic encounter with Prince Charles can save her from the axe. "The Palace Diaries" is an entertaining romp of a read that will delight and intrigue in equal measure.
