Dickie Arbiter is a British broadcaster, commentator and author who served as press secretary to Queen Elizabeth II from 1988 to 2000. On Duty With The Queen is a memoir drawing on his twelve years inside Buckingham Palace, offering a unique insider's perspective on life at the heart of the British monarchy during one of its most turbulent periods, including the breakdown of the marriages of the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of York. Arbiter writes with the authority of someone who was present at key moments in modern royal history while maintaining the discretion expected of someone who served the sovereign. Since leaving royal service, he has become one of the most respected royal commentators in British media. His audiobooks and books offer readers a rare and authoritative glimpse behind the palace walls.
