Elizabeth of Glamis provides evocative and descriptive accounts of royal events and ceremonies. The royal history is interesting.
However, you won't learn much about the Queen Mother from this book. She must have had a will of steel and she was very supportive of her husband. She was also devastatingly charming and a wonderful hostess.
Duff seems to regard her as almost verging on sainthood! You won't find any criticism of her in these pages, let alone any scandal or gossip.
I am a fan of the Queen Mother's, but this book even got on my nerves in the end. The writing was just too cloying. The style is also rather old-fashioned and breathless, although I didn't mind that.
