As a holder of the Royal Warrant since 1866, Colman’s of Norwich is considered a British staple. The company first enjoyed recognition as”Manufactures to Her Majesty the Queen Victoria.” The then-Prince of Wales followed suit two years later by granting the company a Warrant as Purveyors to His Royal Highness.
Few books cast such a spell that the reader can’t tear him or herself away. This is how I felt about The Royal We (Grand Central Publishing, 2015), the book born out of a labor of love that involved thorough research, clever plot twists and the imagination of two very funny women, Heather Cocks and…
She carries out countless engagements each year, will surpass Queen Victoria as the longest-serving British monarch in history come September, and takes part in a parade put on as an “official birthday celebration” (despite being in June), but one day out of the year is meant just for Queen Elizabeth II alone.
