Not in Front of the Corgis
Not in Front of the Corgis: Secrets of Life Behind the Royal Curtains | Brian Hoey
6 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
The Windsors are England's most famous family, but what are they really like when they're out of the public gaze? Behind closed doors in every Royal residence, from Buckingham Palace to Clarence House, there are two families - one upstairs and one down - and nobody knows a Royal quite like a Royal servant, intimately acquainted as they are with every quirk, foible and eccentricity. And there are a fair few! This is the inside story of the Royal Family through the eyes of those who know them best, a sneak peek behind the ermine-trimmed curtains to reveal what they really get up to in their spare time. Are they just like us? Or are they are a world apart? Here are the answers to everything we've ever wondered about the Royals: which programmes does the Queen watch on TV? What music did the Queen Mother listen to? Who can drive and who can't? What is it like to attend a dinner party thrown by Charles and Camilla? Who are the most popular (and most unpopular!) Royals to work for and why? Not in Front of the Corgis is the real Upstairs Downstairs - a unique and fascinating collection of all the secrets you ever wanted to know about the Royal Family.

@Erofan Easy peasy! I bought this a long time ago when I was preparing for my first dog, my beloved corg, Miss Amy. It‘s been 2 1/2 years since she went back to fairy-land and I still miss her. #ispy

LapReader My Nan had corgis. My favourite was Prudence. She was rather large and had a big birth mark. 5y
mrsmarch @LapReader Miss Amy was a retired show dog. We were her retirement home (she retired at age 3). She passed away a month short of her 11 bday. She loved every children & hated every dog. 5y

I received this amazing booksleeve in the mail today! Made by @Michelle_mck mum, she has an Etsy store which has lots of beautiful & well made booksleeves. Plus she put Anzac biscuits, a chai teabag & cute bookmarks in there as well as it being prettily wrapped. Go check her out, she has a Litsy handle too @bookgogo https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/totesaGoGo?ref=s2-header-shopname

BethM That is hilarious! I'll definitely check her out! 8y
minkyb Mine is comingggggggggggggggggggggg... 8y
BethM @Lizpixie how thick and stiff is the padding? 8y
Lizpixie @BethM it's not stiff at all & it could be thicker, but it's very well made & the stitching is perfect. Plus it has a Velcro flap to stop your book sliding out. I love it, and the material is adorbs! 8y
BookGoGo @BethM I use 200 GSM wadding on each side so it's about 2cm thick on both sides - it's nice and squishy while not giving up to much space at the corners 8y
Lizpixie @BethM @bookgogo I could easily fit a thick hardcover in it. I have one made by another store and I struggle getting my big books in it, so it depends on what you read more I suppose, big books or thin ones that will fit easily in a stiffer one. I like my big books so the squishy ones are perfect for me👍 8y
BethM @Lizpixie that's actually what I need! None of my hardcovers fit. 8y
Lizpixie @BethM she still has the corgicorn available plus a plain corgi and other really cute designs. I really like the woodland creatures one🐰🐻🦊🐿 8y

Here's an example of a book that I only picked up because of the title. It was an interesting read at some points, boring at others and they really only mentioned the corgis a number of times. Not a bad read considering I knew nothing about the book going into it. I love my corgi Juno and it was neat to see how the royal corgis live. #likethequeensdog #corgisforlife
