Beschreibung

The royal family say they can do without many things, but not their animals. For countless monarchs and their consorts, dogs, cats, horses and even the occasional parrot have acted as constant, faithful companions, unquestioning allies and surrogate children.

With intimate anecdotes and fascinating detail, royal expert Brian Hoey describes the mini palaces provided for the Queen's pampered corgis; Princess Anne's badly behaved bull terriers; the wild animals - including crocodiles, hippopotami and an elephant - presented to princes and princesses; a regal passion for all things equine; and the pigeon awarded a military medal for its efforts in the Second World War.

Über den Autor

Brian Hoey has been a writer and broadcaster for over forty years and was one of BBC television's first newscasters. He secured the first ever TV interview with the Queen's daughter, Princess Anne, and has subsequently covered many royal events over the years, including the weddings of Charles and Diana in 1981 and Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson in 1986. He was also a commentator at Princess Diana's funeral. Hoey has written more than twenty-five books, many of them about the British royal family. He is the official biographer of Princess Anne.
