William seward new biography of queen

“I don't have to agree with you to like you or respect you.”

― Anthony Bourdain

I have in some way shape or form "known" HRH most of my life, from the dashing naval officer who swept QEII off her feet to the gentleman in a bowler hat saying his goodbyes to public life in 2017...

goodness how much he reminded me of my own much missed grandfather that day!
I am not ashamed to admit I was sad to hear of his passing and, at the same time, suddenly found myself curious to know more about him - more than just headlines about those cheeky/rude/infallible/shocking comments he excelled at all his long life.

If you decide to pick this one be warned - Don't expect a salacious book, Don't expect a subservient book.
What the author does, and very well in my own opinion, is a fair attempt at showing the many sides of this complex and fascinating man whose devotion to duty is something younger generations will never fully grasp.
