👑ROYAL SECRETS👑 Amazing Tales! By VALET To Prince Charles, Stephen Barry

The Vintage Read Show presents "Royal Secrets", The View From Downstairs by Stephen P. Barry, former Valet to Prince Charles!
Royal Secrets is a charming, fascinating record of Royalty, without pomp, and told by someone who spent 12 years of his life in their service.
Published one year before his death from AIDS, Stephen Barry takes us on an affectionate romp behind the green baize door that divided the staff from the Royal Family.
A witty and revealing portrait that I have found to be highly entertaining!
From Princess Diana to the Queen Mum, we hear stories that will make you giggle and gasp.
I hope you will join me for this wonderful new book series.

    I think a light-hearted book on the more amusing occurrences behind the scenes would be a perfect piece to the more hard hitting, deep dives we've been treated with recently.

    i sent lady Susan a few jams i ordered from the royal collection shop when she endured that unfair criticism and a few months later i got a wonderful thank you letter from one of the most senior ladies in waiting to the late queen on letterhead. was very exciting.

    In some respects I feel sorry for the Royals. Imagine living a life where every moment of every hour of every day was orchestrated and micromanaged. It didn't allow for bad hair days or under the weather days. I would find that a bit difficult day after day for all of my life. That must have been why Balmoral was/is so important to them.

    Both myself and my oldest brother have liver damage. Doctors are always telling us to, “stop drinking!” We are always telling the doctors “don’t drink, never drank!” of course they don’t believe us! So damage can be caused by other things other than drinking. In my case, I found out that it was caused from a surgery I had when I was in my early 20s. So, possibly Prince Philip did not drink as much as one might think.

    You are in deed a charming host Shauna. However, the more I learn about the monarchy, the greater the need to end the monarchy now. One cannot help but think of all the elderly pensioners in the UK who die of cold every winter, and likely in the heat of summer, unable to afford to both eat and heat/cool their homes, while the monarchy lives a life of luxury increasing their wealth, and attempting to look useful by snipping a few ribbons. Oh, and arranging a fancy State Funeral to boot! There is a reason other countries have tossed their royals.

    The late Queen was an amazing diplomat.

    I’d love to hear more about this book Shauna. I’m so tired of hearing about Hank and skank, I quit watching any videos about them and unsubscribed from some channels. So it’s nice to come to your channel and get more of a variety. ❤
