Packed with stunning revelations, this is the inside story of The Queen Mother from The New York Times best-selling author who first revealed the truth about Princess Diana.
Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother has been called the "most successful queen since Cleopatra." Her personality was so captivating that even her arch - enemy Wallis Simpson wrote about "her legendary charm." Portrayed as a selfless partner to the King in the Oscar-winning movie The King's Speech, The Queen Mother is most often remembered from her later years as the smiling granny with the pastel hats. When she died in 2002, just short of her 102nd birthday, she was praised for a long life well lived.
But there was another side to her story. For the first time, Lady Colin Campbell tells us that the untold life of The Queen Mother is far more fascinating and moving than the official version that has been peddled ever since she became royal in 1923. With unparalleled sources - including members of the Royal Family, aristocrats, and friends and relatives of Elizabeth herself - this mesmerizing account takes us inside the real and sometimes astonishing world of the royal family.

But that 'Sweet, Granny-style' smile had all of us outsiders fooled. This is a wonderful telling of a life poorly lived. As they say, 'Karma's a B***h'. One wonders about those who don't expect to have to pay-their-debts in the next lifetime......
Wow - what a B****h!

The author frequently provided psychoanalytic frameworks that mixed up multiple diagnoses and presumed a level of knowledge of Queen Marys inner thoughts and motivations...often in very critical ways.
And yet, I listened all the way through. The same attention to details of set, setting, and relationships made for a very intimate view of a fascinating life. If you can mentally set aside caustic attacks on the subject, there is value here. The book is well organized, writing clear and precise. Be prepared for those brief untranslated French phrases British authors of a certain class and time seem to love. If you can integrate the good and the bad and don't mind segues down generations of complex Royal Relationships from time to time, its worth a listen.
