WONDERFUL!!

I loved this! Loved the content, and especially that Dickie narrated it himself. Couldn’t have been better.

Good book!

I liked it. It was interesting. It ended before Harry’s downfall. His narration is good as well.

Great read!

Anyone who loves the Royals, and enjoys the back stage story, this book will not disappoint!

I love this book! ❤️

I started this Audio Book late in the evening. By 3:30a.m. I stopped and decided to continue it later that evening. I needed to get some sleep. But I didn't want to stop it. Finally, it was complete. However I left wishing Dicky coukd of keep going telling me more. Learning things about Princess Diana I've never heard before.

I love how Dicjey went back and forth from his childhood to current time working with The British Royal Family. I was so sad to hear all Dickey went through as a young child. It brought tears to my eyes. Then, to hear the only man who dearly loved him to the fullest, passed away way too soon. I was so impressed by Mr. Dickey Arbiters life story. Where he came from to where he is even today in real time.

I'm so glad I bought this book. It's quite interesting and very entertaining. final analysis. I loved this book! ❤️ ♥️

Wonderful!

Thank you Mr. Arbiter for sharing your life story and your life working for the Royal family. Very touching and well done in honoring to the Royals. I can see why you were valued by them.
