The royal family through rose-colored glasses,
By saskatoonguy (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Queen's House: A Social History of Buckingham Palace (Paperback)
The problems with this book begin with its title: It's neither a social history, nor does it have much detail about Buckingham Palace. Instead, Edna Healey has written a sugar-coated history of the royal family. Some of her sources are linked to the royal family, and the resulting book is so unabashedly fawning that all credibility is lost. Even Edward VIII is described in a sympathetic light. Those with a serious interest in the history of Buckingham Palace as a physical structure will be disappointed in the amount of detail, and there are other authors who have written more balanced treatments of the royal family.
