- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Short, evidently hastily-put together book - there were not many quotes that I wasn't already familiar with. A vast portion of the quotes were gaffes, rather than funny or interesting fragments. Seemed to perpetuate the popular stereotypes of each of the royals, with very little real insight into who these people really are.
Still, it was free. (Free kindle download from Amazon.)
