Customer Reviews

Editorial

This book is very well written. It is like he is talking to me in person. He is, I feel, a little bit too harsh on the Queen but right on about Philip, Charles and the Queen Mother and Margaret. A good book.

Brilliantly written, hilarious and informative.

Johann Hari is one of Britain's most distinguished journalists and has won loads of awards - all deserved! This book shows why he is so acclaimed. I loved its mix of gossip, political wisdom, and intellect. I cannot imagine anybody but the most crazy monarchist disliking it (and even they would have to admit there's some great anecdotes here...) (by the way, the other commenters here on this book seem to be slightly insane. An EU coup in Britain? Uh... yeah...)

A masterpiece

I laughed so hard my gut ached when I read this book. It is a witty, extremely well-researched investigation into the monarchy, both intellectually stimuling and filled with gossip. The reviews were right. This is a must-read.

I loved this book.

Original, funny, a brilliant book by a brilliant journalist. It's been praised by people as wildly different as Janet Street-Porter, Christopher Hitchens, Julie Burchill, Victor Lewis-Smith and AN Wilson. They're right!This book is hilarious and a joy. The other reviewer is pretty obviosuly just bitter, Harri has been very successful very young, but on the evidence of this book and his writing in the Independent he seems to genuinely deserve it.
