Publisher's Synopsis
A fresh and lively portrait of the people of the Palace from monarches to governesses, from courtiers to children, who have worked and lived in Buckingham Palace. In 1763, Queen Charlotte organised the Great Fete for George III and that was in many ways the opening of the Palace. Edna Healey has brought to life a marvellous procession of people: Dr Johnson, Mendelsohn and Queen Victoria, Fanny Burney, amid many others.
