Publisher's Synopsis
Secret Houses of the Royals takes readers on a tour around the British Isles visiting the various cottages, stately homes, mansions and castles either owned, rented or visited by the extended royal family. Spanning the last 150 years, Hugo Vickers explores 25 locations, outlining the history of each building, the stories of the royals who lived there, and what has come of each. Some are still owned by the Crown, where others are now owned by Trusts or governmental bodies. Each has a unique and often dramatic narrative, and an interior to match. Combining archive imagery with new, specially commissioned photography, these are royal homes as you've never seen them before.
