Lovingly curated by Charles Oliver, who was born into the royal household as the son of a royal servant, this book features exclusive photographs, recipes, anecdotes and menus that span across three generations of royal dining.Oliver grew up with the Royal Family, spending over sixty years in their service, and thus became a familiar face at both Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, as well as Balmoral.
