My fascination with British royals dates back to my early childhood, when I watched the Queen's coronation on a teeny black and white TV. Over 60 years later, I purchased this book along with several other pieces of tasteful memorabilia (e.g.a rusty Prince Albert tobacco can, Chuck and Di coffee mugs and their wedding tea towel all from Ebay--and two boxes of Royal gelatin from Big Lots) for party favors. On the day of the Wedding of the Century, I hosted a bridal brunch for my book club friends. Such a hoity-toity, inhibited bunch, they all wore tiaras or bonnets, sipped one pot of tea and swilled six bottles of champagne. Afterwards, we watched wedding reruns and played royal triva. Fergie's self-serving autobiography was one of the most coveted prizes! (Here are two of the questions, based on info gleaned from this book: 1.What member of the royal family did the press dub "Duchess of Pork" and "Munchess of York"? and 2. What body parts were most conspicuous in the scandalous tabloid photo that ruined poor Sarah's reputation?) This "product" should not be construed as great literature. Nor does it provide the salacious details I'd hoped to find about other royals. Sarah was the model of diplomacy, quite gracious and charitable in her references to the Queen and Prince Andrew, her former-mum-in-law and ex-husband. But it was good for a figurative stroll through the backrooms of Buckingham Palace and included quite a few interesting photos. Since Sarah Ferguson is one-of-a-kind, there's no way to compare her autobiography with others.Read full review
I bought this book because I like The Duchess and I think that she is a great role model for Weight Watchers. The book I bought was in excellent condition and it tells her story so well. I'm still reading it, and very interested in it. For anyone that is a fan of the Duchess I highly recommend this book it is really good. I also recommend the e-bayer that I bought this book from.
great read .
