I had dismissed this originally as it had been touted by Richard and Judy and appeared to be an American crime book. Notes on reading I admit it, I'm very low-brow, I had hoped for a scandalously gossipy book about royal misdemeanours of the behavioural kind. Norman Baker's book should be a must-read for high school and university students, and for any one else already out in the world who thinks the royals are 'value for money'.Nice to know the Queen's collection of baubles, art and antiques are also worth billions, and I do mean billions. The only Royal to come out unscathed from Normal Lamb’s book is Princess Anne, although the late Queen’s reputation hasn’t suffered too badly. Much will depend on how Charles III behaves and what the British public think about him and Camilla in their new roles. From the start of the process to the very end, a publisher invests a huge amount of time, money and expertise in ensuring that each book is the very best it can be.

We are led to believe that our constitutional monarch has no influence over what legislation is debated and the royal assent, a rubber stamping exercise is proof of that.

Technology: Technology enables absolutely everything we do at Penguin Random House and is an intrinsic part of the whole process - from the support provided by our technology teams to the systems and platforms we use to create our books.Distribution: Our distribution team is responsible for getting 80 million books each year to our readers. This will be uncomfortable reading for any monarchist who will find it impossible to justify the lavish lifestyles coupled with the appalling behaviour of certain family members.
