What does a Lady in Waiting do?

Finally found out what a Lady in Waiting is and does. Writer once engaged to Diana Spencer's father but she went on to a fabulous life after he dumped her.

As an avid monarchist, I loved it!

This was a great read. I love all things dealing with British monarchy and this did not disappoint! So much of royal life is kept secret and she really let us in behind the scenes. I admire her for being so honest about her life and all of her troubles. She is a very strong woman and is to be admired for her determination to keep going in the events of her sometimes tragic life.

Lady in Waiting

I found this so interesting and a good insight to the British Royal Family. Princess Margaret was always a mystery to me. She was loyal to her sister. She also had a great sense of humor which comes through in this book.
