The Vintage Read Show presents "Royal Secrets", The View From Downstairs by Stephen P. Barry, former Valet to Prince Charles!
Royal Secrets is a charming, fascinating record of Royalty, without pomp, and told by someone who spent 12 years of his life in their service.
Published one year before his death from AIDS, Stephen Barry takes us on an affectionate romp behind the green baize door that divided the staff from the Royal Family.
A witty and revealing portrait that I have found to be highly entertaining!
From Princess Diana to the Queen Mum, we hear stories that will make you giggle and gasp.
I hope you will join me for this wonderful new book series.

In some respects I feel sorry for the Royals. Imagine living a life where every moment of every hour of every day was orchestrated and micromanaged. It didn't allow for bad hair days or under the weather days. I would find that a bit difficult day after day for all of my life. That must have been why Balmoral was/is so important to them.

@@gingercat2879 I agree. I think Prince William acted impulsively, but in his defense, he was still contending with the "racist royal family" rumors that the Sussexes planted. That was so sweet of you to support Lady Susan like that. I've always believed that you reap what you sow, and I suspect that history will not be kind to the" Montecito grifters".

@judywilliamson2068 20 дней назад

Both myself and my oldest brother have liver damage. Doctors are always telling us to, “stop drinking!” We are always telling the doctors “don’t drink, never drank!” of course they don’t believe us! So damage can be caused by other things other than drinking. In my case, I found out that it was caused from a surgery I had when I was in my early 20s. So, possibly Prince Philip did not drink as much as one might think.

I love the gossipy tales. All of us wonder what life is really like in the palaces. These glimpses are enlightening and enjoyable. The royals are human beings who live under many constraints. It is satisfying to see the more human side of each of them. I can imagine the feelings of those who saw the Queen twisting her wedding ring and were relieved when she rode off leaving Reagan with his fans.

You are in deed a charming host Shauna. However, the more I learn about the monarchy, the greater the need to end the monarchy now. One cannot help but think of all the elderly pensioners in the UK who die of cold every winter, and likely in the heat of summer, unable to afford to both eat and heat/cool their homes, while the monarchy lives a life of luxury increasing their wealth, and attempting to look useful by snipping a few ribbons. Oh, and arranging a fancy State Funeral to boot! There is a reason other countries have tossed their royals.
