Publisher's Summary

Only Eileen Parker could write a book like Step Aside for Royalty with its intimate portrait of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip in the early years of their enduring partnership. That's why Eileen and her husband, Mike. appeared as characters throughout the first thirteen episodes of the Netflix blockbuster, 'The Crown'. Eileen and Mike were inside Buckingham Palace for all the grand state occasions as well as the private moments of crisis and joy.

Eileen knew Prince Philip before his marriage. When Mike Parker became the Prince's first private secretary the ‘Parkers of the Palace’ became part of the furniture at Court. Prince Philip even gave them his car. The events that tested Mike and Eileen's marriage to breaking point were twisted against them by Netflix in order to create a tv drama. Step Aside for Royalty corrects the fake history by giving us the real story in Eileen's own words.
