Sandringham: The Story of a Royal Home (The Royal House of Windsor) Kindle Edition

by Helen Cathcart (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.9 out of 5 stars 180 ratings
A fascinating biographyof Sandringham, royal residence and stately home.

Ideal for readers of Lucy Worsley, John Martin Robinson, Simon Thurley, and John Adair.

‘Dear old Sandringham, the place I love better than anywhere else in the world’ – King George V

Sandringham, the much-loved Norfolk retreat of Queen Elizabeth II, has been the private home of four generations of monarchs since 1862, when Queen Victoria and Prince Albert bought the country estate for their eldest son Albert Edward, Prince of Wales.

Written with warmth and wit, Helen Cathcart charts a hundred years of royal domestic history at Sandringham, from earliest days through to celebrated visitor attraction. As well as being the scene of private family life, this stately abode has played host to magnificent balls and glittering parties as well as witnessing more dramatic events, including the 1891 fire, the death of the heir presumptive to the British throne in 1892, and the first Christmas Day Message broadcast live by King George V in 1932.

Drawing on a wealth of sources, including architect’s papers, building reports, royal letters and journals, Cathcart paints a vivid picture of life at Sandringham through the ages, of evolving architecture and changing décor, the comedy and drama of each new reign.

A blend of narrative history and family chronicle, Sandringham commemorates the centenary of one of the best-known private country houses in the world.

Praise for Helen Cathcart:
‘An expert on royalty’ –The Guardian
‘Wide acclaim as a royal biographer … objective, uninhibited and penetrating’ – Sunday Express
‘Helen Cathcart writes about royalty as if she were one of them’ –Daily Mail
‘The doyenne of royal biographers’ –Daily Telegraph

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Lorna Bennett is a voice talent and audiobook narrator.



Helen Cathcart was a prolific writer about the Royal Family, who enjoyed enormous success with her books in the 1960s and 1970s. These emerged with regularity, sold well, and were largely enjoyed (if not always at Buckingham Palace). One mystery surrounded the author-she was never seen. Occasionally journalists visited her agent, Harold Albert, at his cottage near Liphook, and suspected that Helen Cathcart did not exist. Invariably they left less convinced. Only when Harold Albert died was it revealed-in an obituary written by Hugo Vickers-that Harold Albert and Helen Cathcart were one and the same.

    Well-written book more about the place than the people. A must for anglophiles. Would love similar book about Balmoral. Will read them all!
