The book tells the story of Schumann's rise from humble beginnings as a waiter to becoming one of the most trusted and influential members of the royal household. Through extensive research and interviews with Schumann's family and colleagues, Lyons paints a vivid portrait of a man who was dedicated to his work and loyal to the royal family. The book also explores the social and political context of Schumann's time, including the impact of World War I on the monarchy and the changing role of servants in the royal household.
