Living with the Queen

Behind the Scenes at Buckingham Palace

by Malcolm Barker and T.C. Sobey 1991

Hardcover. 304 pages. In excellent condition. Book jacket has very light shelf wear on spine edges, otherwise smooth and new looking. 26 candid photos with spoofing comments. Inside dust cover reads: "Malcolm J. Barker, once an official at Buckingham Palace, has written this revealing memoir of his days there, laying bare the sexual shenanigans, strange characters, and boozy behavior of the not-so-devoted servants who surround Queen Elizabeth II and her family. These hilarious and shocking no-holds-barred recollections of a Buckingham Palace official take the reader behind the scenes of the British Royal household. Filled with anecdotes, revelations and gossip, this book casts aside the public perception of how British royalty lives and substitutes the gritty reality that Barker witnessed in his four years of service. It's not a pretty picture."
