The Wicked Wit of the Royal Family
There is no doubt that the British royal family is the most famous family in the world. Watched and picked over in the media for everything from fashion choices to baby bumps, sports achievements to nightclub preferences, there doesn’t seem to be a moment when they can escape public scrutiny. But, somehow, they still manage to maintain a sense of humor, and it’s those flashes of fun and brilliance that this book celebrates. From Prince Philip’s gaffe-prone remarks (most of which appear ON camera rather than off) to the "in" jokes shared by the knowing smiles of the younger royals and the Queen’s wickedly dry and often bitingly funny remarks; from Prince Charles’s asides to the Duchess of Cornwall to the self-deprecating smile of the Duchess of Cambridge and the belly laughs that appeal to Prince Harry, this book presents the other side of royal protocol.
