## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A Fun, Gossipy Account
  

*by M***V on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2023*

This is an enjoyable read about a servant to the Queen Mother who became her intimate and confidante, but the tales about Tallon’s private life are as interesting, if gossipy, as the accounts of his service to the Queen Mother.  Many incidents involving Tallon burnish the Queen Mother’s reputation as a lovable, broad minded, fun loving, generous member of the Royal Family, and what was of particular interest was Tallon’s connection to other members of the Royal Family after her death and the end of his service.  This book is a good prequel or sequel to reading The Courtiers by Valentine Low.  Together the books provide an interesting and frequently surprising glimpse into the real lives of royals and the workings of palace power structures.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Gin and The Queen Mother
  

*by T***. on Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2018*

A very entertaining and insightful read. Who knew Elizabeth loved gin? The relationships between the various levels of staff was most interesting. A  very well written book that holds your interest and provides wonderful imagery,while giving a very human glimpse of The Queen Mother.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    I Hoped For So Much More
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2018*

Though the subject and his matter are of great interest, I found this to be a somewhat dull read. I wish the scope had been widened to include key events in the life of the royal household such as the assassination of Lord Mountbatten, the attempted kidnapping of Princess Anne, the Queen’s “Annus Horribilis” and the divorce of Charles and Diana and her untimely death. These events must have surely registered in Billy’s world at Clarence House and Birk Hall. Instead it was chapter after chapter of “Billy was saucy and drank and whored about too much”...sigh.
