Sunday Times'
Craig Brown has brilliantly drawn together the component parts of a complex woman'
The Oldie'A playful, impish approach...Brown gives us lots of wonderful incidental detail...
The deftly amused writing constantly tugs the corners of your mouth upwards'
Evening Standard'A cross between biography and satire that
perfectly displays Brown's rare skills as journalist and parodist', Mark Lawson,
Guardian, Books of the Year
'
Hugely entertaining ... brilliantly written, with a wonderful sardonic edge but also a thoughtful, at times even moving tone'
Spectator'If you want a book that will have you punching your pillow in helpless laughter, this is it. Moreover, he has invented an entirely new genre, of which
it is a masterpiece ... The list of the Princess's 'rumoured' lovers - up to and wickedly including Dusty Springfield - sparked my decision to
buy this book as a Christmas present for everybody I know, and for those I don't.'
Country Life'Hilarious'
Sunday Telegraph'Brilliant'
Evening Standard'Craig Brown achieves the impossible by finding a tone in which to write about monarchy. Not bitchy, not snide, not angry, but not fawning nor deferential either. Just funny.' David Hare,
Guardian
