WONDERFUL!!

I loved this! Loved the content, and especially that Dickie narrated it himself. Couldn’t have been better.

Good book!

I liked it. It was interesting. It ended before Harry’s downfall. His narration is good as well.

Dickies story really stuck with me.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started listening. But I got hooked when Dickie started telling his story and how it all played in to where he landed. Thank you Dickie for sharing your story.

Great read!

Anyone who loves the Royals, and enjoys the back stage story, this book will not disappoint!

history of working within the royal system and his great respect for these people.

Great love for his employer and wonderful history of work. Mandatory retirement did not stop him and the ice skating goal is wonderful.
