For thirteen years Jennie Bond has been treading in the footsteps of the Royal Family as the BBC s royal correspondent. In that time, she has covered many momentous events - among them, three marriage breakdowns, Camillagate, the Queen s annus horribilis and the death of the Princess of Wales, whom Jennie had met privately on a number of occasions. Jennie recounts these meetings in material that until now has never been in print. This is a lively, entertaining book that will cast the Royals in a new light as Jennie takes the reader behind the scenes of events at home and on tour.
Jennie Bond's career at the BBC started with Radio News, progressed to producer of current affairs programmes, including Woman's Hour, and then to presenting such programmes as Today. She moved to television in 1988 and is one of the most familiar faces on BBC news. She was appointed the BBC's royal reporter in 1988.
