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.

Good Innocent PC Listen

Even though it was a bit hard to understand this bloke, it was a good listen. I was a bit apprehensive that there will be an attempt to capitalize on his service, but actually it was quite innocent and clearly sanitized to make sure the narrative will not offend someone. The guy appears a bit dim-witted at times and a bit weird in his obsession with the royalty. Not bad.

Lovely listen

I really enjoyed this. The Audible version was especially lovely, and I’m usually not a fan of authors narrating their own books unless it’s a celebrity memoir. But Grant Harrold’s voice brought so much innocence and charm to the story that it completely worked.

What I liked most was that it did not try to spill royal secrets. Instead it offered a genuine and modern look at life in service. It was respectful, interesting, and simply a very pleasant listen. A refreshing change from the usual tell all style books about the royals.

Charming

What a delightful and charming book this is. Unlike some other reviewers, I was enchanted by the Scottish accent and had no trouble understanding him. His stories are very interesting and his insight into the people for whom he worked is very revealing. I highly recommend this book.

his love of the Royals

I like all of it. Especially the last part when the Queen died his love for her.
