This book discusses various aspects of royal life, including the relationships between Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales. There is plenty of talk about affairs and strained relationships in the book. Clearly this book was written some time ago, and I would consider this to be outdated, though I didn't expect much for a twenty five cent used book. I would also suggest that the author of this book was biased in his assessments. At any rate, I wouldn't say this is the worst book I have read this year, but I would not be recommending this to anyone.
