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
