Discover the revelatory royal autobiography of the year, with stories featuring Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III and many more.
From an early age, Grant Harrold was always obsessed with the royal family. Glued to the television screen watching countless documentaries on Her Majesty the Queen, it seemed the most unlikely outcome that this working-class boy from Scotland would end up walking the corridors of royal palaces and households.
Starting out as a young and naive under-butler in stately homes and working his way up to the highest honour of serving the King and Queen, this memoir charts Grant's extraordinary journey to the highest levels of royal society.
The relationship between the king and his staff has always been shrouded in mystery, but in this compelling autobiography, one of Britain's top royal experts reveals his story for the first time and shares insight and never-before-heard stories about his time in royal service.
