Two family dynasties became friends back in the late 30’s and their lives have been entwined since then. From the time of King George VI till today, the families have been through it all over the years. There have been marriages, births, deaths, tragedies, and through it all they have survived and given support to each other. Author Caroline Hallemann has written a historical look at how the familes’ paths have crossed over the years. She has researched and written about all of it. She also writes about each family individually and as families. From Presidential visits, visits to the Palace in London, to Jackie’s sister, Eve, and Queen Elizabeth’s sister, Margaret, and their resentment toward their sisters. She tells great stories about how certain members of each family felt about others in their family, and about the other family. It’s all here in one book that you will not want to put down.
