Behind Closed Doors
by Hugo Vickers
When I first started writing biographies I met so many interesting people who told me lots of very interesting things that were not strictly relevant to the book I was writing but I felt those things ought to be written down. Actually, with Behind Closed Doors, this new book I have written, I transcribed about 60,000 or 70,000 words about the Windsors from my own diaries.
