Anon who recced the book "My Royal Past, by Princess Theodora Louise Alexina Ludmilla Sophie von Eckermann-Waldstein": I need you to clarify if the long name in the info you gave me is the author or part of the title, and who the author is, please!

the only edition of "my royal past" i could find costs $43, plus $23 in shipping, used. so maybe that makes it not book club material.

Yikes. 0.0 I would not be reading that.

I'm not sure it will be included anyway; anon has not clarified the author thing with me.

The title is "My Royal Past." Princess Theodora Louise Alexina Ludmilla Sophie von Eckermann-Waldstein and Cecil Beaton were both the authors, though the former may have not quite existed.

Books are really stupidly expensive.
