I found All The Light enthralling too. It is one I recommend without hesitation. Have not read underland, but McFarlane writes beautifully about nature.

I like the story her protection officer told. Queen and him walking nr Balmoral. Meet two US tourists. The tourists ask them have they ever met the Queen. She replies, "No, but he has."

The best bit of advice I received: delete them all; if it were important they will chase you.

Thanks - I did not know that. I need to find the piece where it said she was not going to choose HRH for her children. Trouble I read it a long time ago. Re Edward, it seems Buck Hse said kids would not be princes, though they can choose the royal title when they hit 18.
Amazing what you learn.
