Heart Felt Tribute

Grant Harrold’s account of his time with the royal family is delightful insight to the private life of the most public people. As the daughter of a Scots woman who remembered when the queen was born, I enjoyed listening to his words as well as the story.

Accent too strong to understand

I can’t tell if this book is good or not due to the very strong accent of the author and reader. It’s a lovely Scottish accent, just not for reading a book.

absolutely delightful

Grant's stories are so vivid and full of detail, I felt like I went along for the ride with him . he deserves every wonderful thing that has happened in his life. I highly recommend this loving tribute to the UK royal family and a life of service by the thousands of people who undertake this work as joyfully as the author.

Breath of fresh air!

It’s like being up close to everyday the life of the royal family seen through the lens of a child with a pure heart. It is so refreshing to learn happy and positive stories about the royal family when we are surrounded by seas of intrigue and negative stories. It warms my heart that the staff are invited as guests to personal events of the family. From the viewing of the remains of QEI, marriage of KC, parties for the staff etc. Highly recommended ! Its such a light and fun book to listen to if u want a relief from our everyday worries

Wonderful!

I couldn’t stop listening! Grant offers an engaging and sincere behind the scenes account of life in a world that the rest of us can only dream about. Loved this book!

Very thick brogue

Although the story was interesting, I couldn’t understand much because of the authors strong brogue.
