Book Synopsis
The first modern history of St James’s Palace, shedding light on a remarkable building at the heart of the history of the British monarchy that remains by far the least known of the royal residences


Trade Review

“Thurley and co chart this rollercoaster history with scholarship and flair, while Yale’s collaboration with the Royal Collections Trust means the inclusion of some delightful and unfamiliar illustrations. St James’s Palace, warns Thurley in his introduction, “is a mysterious and confusing place”. Not any more. With this book, the accidental palace takes its place with the best of them.”—Adrian Tinniswood, The Sunday Telegraph
