![]() ![]() ![]() Malcolm Hudson (initially nicknamed Hot Chocolate by Vivian!) is the private secretary to the Queen. Vivian Forest is the mother of a woman hired as the stylist to a Duchess for the Christmas holidays. Ultimately, forgetting about reality and getting settled into the narrative was easy to do because the characters and the story were so engrossing. And this could just be my own ignorance speaking (as I have not been particularly interested in asking the internet about more specifics), but it seems like the similarities between reality and fiction stop at the point where both have a middle-aged Black woman from California with some connection to the British royal family. My knowledge of Duchess Meghan and her mom is fairly limited, so it was pretty easy to forget the fact that this book is inspired by a real person. ![]()
