Not available as an ebook.

This book is from an old, yellowing paperback:

Scanned.
Scanned pages were enlarged and turned into razor-sharp monochrome using Image Magick
Cleaned png files were run through Tesseract-ocr
Resultant txt files were algorithmically tidied up, removed illegal characters, spellings corrected, page numbers removed (some still remain).  All the multiple txt files were concatenated together into one file.
Then the mighty Calibre converted the txt file to the ebook files.
That's it.  No clickable contents or index, no pics.  Just a highly readable ebook.
Cover image was the best I could manage.  Extremely hard to track down a decent image.  Read below and you'll see why.

All in all, I did a good job.  Paragraph formatting falls apart regularly, but it's good enough for me, therefore you too.

This is actually quite a good book (within the Royal tell-all genre).

Another royal book banned in Britain is The Housekeeper's Diary by Wendy Berry, housekeeper to Prince Charles and Princess Diana from 1985 to 1992.

Berry witnessed the most turbulent years of the Wales' marriage, leading to their formal separation in 1992, after which she was let go from her position in the great staff reshuffle that occurred as Charles and Diana split their households between Highgrove House (where Berry was based) and Kensington Palace.

Berry wrote extensively about arguments that occurred between Charles and Diana as well as information about their bedroom habits and extramarital affairs. This caused Charles to seek an injunction, banning the book from publication in England as lawyers held Berry to her confidentiality agreement.

The housekeeper fled Britain and published the book in the U.S., where publishers were protected by the First Amendment. But Charles won a legal case against her in the U.K., awarding him the profits from the book. These could not be collected while Berry was out of the country.

Berry was located living in Britain in 2000, caring for her two sick sons. A spokesperson for Charles at the time said he would not seek to recoup the financial settlement awarded him in court, and that he would not seek further legal action unless Berry published more stories.

See, proof that the man is all heart.  That or his aides advised against further persuing an old woman who had been forced tovsneak back into her own country to flee for her sick sons.  I'll leave that one up to you.


The book has never been published in Britain.

Here is the publisher's blurb:

As housekeeper to Prince Charles and Princess Diana at their Highgrove mansion from 1985 until the royal couple's 1992 separation, Wendy Berry witnessed the slow disintegration of what was initially christened a fairy tale marriage. To her, it was clear from the very beginning that these two people, each possessing singularly admirable qualities and capable of great affection, found it impossible to live together harmoniously. Now, defying a centuries old obligation on royal servants not to discuss the affairs and behavior of the royal family, Wendy Berry has revealed this day by day detailed account of the mounting troubles inside Highgrove. She chronicles the growing emotional turmoil of a disintegrating relationship as witnessed by herself and other staff, and how both the Prince and Princess sought comfort outside their marriage while trying to maintain the fairy tale public image.
