Presented with the Royal Victoria Medal by the Queen following Diana's death in 1997, Burrell draws on his intimate knowledge of royal household standards to guide readers through every aspect of formal and informal entertaining: invitations, place settings, menus, table decoration, napkin folding, recipes, and the etiquette of the toast.
