 Beautiful and charming. Easy read, but surprises with some real soulful advice despite its title. It is a "how to " book that offers advice in living a stylish life and has a glamorous and "old world” undertone to it.”

St Juliens Tea House

“Tea with the Dutchess is a beautiful book that surprised me. The book is filled with tips and advice in manners and etiquette, but it is so much more than beautiful pages with lifestyle tips. The Dutchess in the book shares anecdotes and stories about her life which is not only glamorous and flamboyant, but it also offers the reader a glimpse into a world where kindness, charm and elegance are qualities that still matter. In today’s modern times we all need a dose of the Dutchess!  A humorous, light-hearted but at the same time a thought-provoking book that brings out your inner princess!”

Reader

“A book that is as beautiful on the outside as it is inside!

Beneath the cover awaits a world of whimsical wisdom. The author takes you to a world where style, etiquette, manners matter. Filled with beautiful conversations from how to create a home, to make a first and lasting impression, how to carry yourself with grace, and everything in between. My favourite part of the book is the chapter about intention, how to purposefully set your intentions for the day. I feel like I am in a world where Mary Poppins married Violet Bridgerton, offering her wholesome but glamorous advice over a cup of tea. It is a book that made me want to order a tiara, pull my lace gloves on and enter the world with new, full-blown confidence and throw a tea party! The short stories are more like having a chat with the Dutchess and being privileged to entering her world. And yes, the Dutchess is spelled with a t, as tea with the Dutchess is what I want to have more of, and I hope that the author will write more series of this book, as if it is something I would have hoped for is for it to have been a bit longer.”
