Book description
For thirteen years Jennie Bond has been treading in the footsteps of the Royal Family as the BBC’s royal correspondent. In that time, she has covered many momentous events – among them, three marriage breakdowns, Camillagate, the Queen’s annus horribilis and the death of the Princess of Wales, whom Jennie had met privately on a number of occasions.
Jennie recounts these meetings in material that until now has never been in print. This is a lively, entertaining book that will cast the Royals in a new light as Jennie takes the reader behind the scenes of events at home and on tour.
Jennie Bond reveals what it’s really like to report the hottest royal stories:
– She takes us inside the walls of Buckingham Palace on the day Charles and Diana separated
– She portrays the panic of learning that Windsor Castle was on fire
– She describes what it was like to witness an apparent assassination attempt on Prince Charles in Sydney
– She recalls the traum of the night Princess Diana died – and of the week that followed, during which she broadcast almost non-stop
