Customer Reviews

more than just a photo album

This book is almost startling to read and browse through. Lousia Antrim was a Lady in Waiting to Queens Victoria and Alexandra of England and accompnied them on most of the state events and overseas trips they went on.This book is just packed with inside royal information and ancedotes. It also has an amazing collection of royal photos and odds and ends. Things like signed photos of various royalties, meunu's from various occasions, personal snapshots, postcards etc that Louise retained from her various royal jaunts.This is a lovely, and in some ways very personal book. You get to see the floatsom and jestom of royal living (eg menus etc) that mostly don't appear in other books. It gives you a great feel for the period and lifestyle Lousia lived.If you are intersted in the royal heyday of the 19th century and early 20th century this is highly reccomended.
