Publisher Description:
In this social history of Buckingham Palace from Charlotte's time to the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, Edna Healy mines the Royal Archives to take the reader into its moonlit gardens, up the grand staircase, and inside its tapestried walls. Dr. Johnson again holds forth in the library, Queen Victoria encores Mendelssohn in the music room, and in the royal chambers Fanny Burney wrestles once more with protocol. Written with the assistance of the royal family, this lively biography of a house reveals not only the changing facade of the palace but also the changing face of a nation's culture, morals, fashions, and tastes.
