OK, it's not literary fiction, it won't change your life, and - I am hoping - it is not a true depiction of the Royal family, but it did make me laugh out loud nearly all the way through. ( ) I got this book as a way to prepare for the celebration of the diamond jubilee and read it on the flight home from London. This added flavour and context and if you are after being royally entertained, I recommend this book warmly. Being a lover of all things British and Gin, this book did not disappoint me at all. This diary of HRH EIIR, covering the year leading to the diamond jubilee is written in wry and witty style that one considers being typical. Hilarious accounts of how the queen views the happening around her, and comments everything from politicians and other public figuers to try to beatify Freddie Mercury and wanting to get the Royal Guards to march to the Queen. (While William of course would prefer Prince) May get a bit repetetive, for example when the DoE always wants to dress up in funny costumes to see the look on somebody´s face, while Edward uses every oppportunity to dress up in a sequins, but I guess that people are exactly that repetetive. I am not sure how this book would go down with ardent subjects of the crown, but I thought that it was written in kindness, and with a great sense of humour. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
IN 2012, THE DIAMOND JUBILEE YEAR, HER MAJESTY'S DIARIES ARE OPENED AT LAST... ***Offering insight from the top on all the major events of 2012, including the two Royal weddings, the phone hacking scandal, and the Duke of Edinburgh's tarts and vicars-themed 90th birthday party.*** 'Had a quick run-through of the opening ceremony. One wanted to call it "The Empire Strikes Back" but it was generally felt that might intimidate the smaller nations.' Queen of sixteen sovereign nations, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. She's one of the world's most well-known and powerful leaders and has reigned for 60 years. But what does she really think? 'One does enjoy the Eurovision Song Contest. Lovely to be reminded how much more civilized the British are than our European neighbours. Royal Eurovision Fancy Dress Party to celebrate. Unfortunately Camilla misread the invitation as 'Euro-tunnel Fancy Dress Party' and came as a train.' These diaries reveal the seldom-seen workings of state and reveal how an octogenarian is quietly ruling the world and still has time for a gin. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
