Description
Sir Alan Lascelles' diaries offer an intimate portrait of the British royal household and Downing Street during a pivotal period in history. Spanning from Edward VIII's abdication to George VI's death and Elizabeth's Coronation, these fascinating accounts provide a unique insight into the workings of the royal family and government during World War II. The diaries reveal a previously unseen side of King George VI, as well as his complex relationship with Winston Churchill, and offer a fresh perspective on Princess Margaret's personal life. Written in a engaging style, Lascelles' diaries are not only valuable historical records but also a pleasure to read. This collection of private letters provides a compelling look at the inner workings of one of Britain's most influential households during a time of great turmoil.
