Items related to The Queen's House: A Social History of Buckingham...
A fresh and lively portrait of the people of the Palace from monarches to governesses, from courtiers to children, who have worked and lived in Buckingham Palace. In 1763, Queen Charlotte organised the Great Fete for George III and that was in many ways the opening of the Palace. Edna Healey has brought to life a marvellous procession of people: Dr Johnson, Mendelsohn and Queen Victoria, Fanny Burney, amid many others.

Review:
Healey gives a lively description of succeeding changes in monarchs, entertainments, ceremony, architecture and amenities from Victoria (who introduced water closets) to Elizabeth II (who has lived in the palace since she was ten). Readers will delight in this well-written chronicle of the house of the House of Windsor.
Welcome to Chez Windsor! The book, prepared with the cooperation of the queen, Princess Margaret, and various members of the royal household, will definitely hold the interest of European history buffs.--Brad Hooper
Meticulously chronicled and sumptuously illustrated. Edna Healey is conspicuously skillful.--Jonathan Keates

This work presents a history of the building and inhabitants of Buckingham Palace, written with full co-operation of the Palace. The book describes the previous houses on the site and their owners, and the development of Buckingham Palace itself. It looks at the monarchs and their families, and takes the reader in to parts of the Palace that the public are never allowed to visit.
