Royal Subjects: A Biographer’s Encounters
By Theo Aronson
For several of his books, Theo Aronson has been granted rare interviews with the Queen Mother, Prince Charles, Princess Margaret, Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone and Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester.
In this sparkling and often irreverent memoir, based on notebooks kept during the last twenty years, Theo Aronson describes these royal interviews as well as the trials and excitements of writing a royal biography.
Ranging from the disastrous to the successful and the amusing to the touching, the encounters in Royal Subjects include hilarious descriptions of lunching on a Scotch egg (and Scotch!) with Princess Margaret, revealing conversations with the Queen Mother and bizarrely gracious meals with ageing princesses in Kensington Palace. Frank and affectionate, these portraits are assembled with a deft touch.
