Behind the Palace Doors

The book delves into the darker and more humorous sides of history. I wonder what motivated this particular angle—was it a personal fascination or a desire to humanize the royals?

The blend of humor and history made some stories feel almost absurd, but I’m curious if others felt it was a respectful approach or if it undermined the gravity of certain events.

With so much material available, it’s impressive how the book balances different eras and types of scandal. I wonder what guided the selection process—was it based on impact, entertainment value, or something else?
