Review Quotes

"Harrold is a former butler to King Charles III and the United Kingdom's 'leading expert on etiquette, ' Service in a noble household demands as much drudgery as skill, but he remains star-struck to the end as he recounts the camaraderie, friendship, and occasional horseplay of fellow workers, along with the perks--good food, celebrities, world leaders close-up, and first-class travel. A royal servant's diverting memoir."
