4.9/5 (25892 ratings)

Description:As housekeeper to Prince Charles and Princess Diana at their Highgrove mansion from 1985 until the royal couple's 1992 separation, Wendy Berry witnessed the slow disintegration of what was initially christened a fairy tale marriage. To her, it was clear from the very beginning that these two people, each possessing singularly admirable qualities and capable of great affection, found it impossible to live together harmoniously.Now, defying a centuries old obligation on royal servants not to discuss the affairs and behaviour of the royal family, Wendy Barry has revealed this day by day detailed account of the mounting troubles inside Highgrove. She chronicles the growing emotional turmoil of a disintegrating relationship as witnessed by herself and other staff, and how both Prince and Princess sought comfort outside their marriage while trying to maintain the fairy tale public image.The turmoil at Highgrove often involved the butlers, cooks, dressers and valets as much as it did the Prince and Princess of Wales. They were the witnesses to the royal couple's sometimes illicit visitors, to the physical and psychological effects of Diana's struggle with bulimia, and Charles's secret night excursions and obsessive interest in his house and garden. Often the staff were caught in the crossfire of these two people who were tearing each other apart emotionally.Despite all of these problems, however, the Highgrove staff maintained an affectionate respect for both the Prince and the Princess. Contrary to news reports portraying Charles as an uncaring father, the staff viewed him as having loving relationship with his two sons, and there were good times and laughter with Diana.After the uproar caused by Diana's allowing her friends intimate details of her marriage in a book and the subsequent controversy over Prince Charles's biography, Wendy Berry has decided to set the record straight with 'The Housekeeper's Diary'.The first book by a Highgrove insider, it is a fascinating first hand account without partisanship for Charles or Diana of what life is really like living in close contact with two of the most famous people in the world.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
