For nearly 50 years Sir Roy Strong, the waspish art historian, landscape gardener and director of London?s Victoria and Albert Museum from 1973 to 1987, has been at the heart of the Establishment, a regular at State occasions and a favourite guest of the great and the good. Now he has finally released his diaries - which include witty, irreverent and sometimes excoriating views on the House of Windsor, and a beautiful Princess destroyed by ?50 years of fags and whisky??
