Description

The Final Curtsey: A Royal Memoir by Margaret Rhodes is an intimate and revealing autobiography that offers a unique glimpse into the life of the late Margaret Rhodes, first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II. Born into the Scottish aristocracy, she was part of a world of privilege where royalty often came to stay. Margaret's experiences are filled with fascinating stories of her time at Buckingham Palace during World War II and her close relationships with members of the royal family. She recounts her role as a bridesmaid at the wedding of Princess Elizabeth to Prince Philip, as well as her own wedding and subsequent appointment as a Lady-in-Waiting to the Queen Mother. This memoir is a touching account of Margaret's life, including her time spent caring for her ailing aunt, the Queen Mother, in the early months of 2002. The book provides a personal perspective on the royal family and their way of life, making it an interesting read for those interested in history and biography.
