She has over 188,000 followers on TikTok who love tuning into her stories of how famous monarchs met their end. Well, it's nothing compared to 9 days in the Monarchy and as Charlie Higson discovers, her tale is a tragic one. Mind you, your co-workers might find you slightly odd for enjoying such a read, but I've experienced it's also a perfect topic of conversation.

I have to admit skimming some of the medical details due to my personal ‘ick factor’, and that’s why I’ve given this three stars rather than four or five - it’s just my own sense of queasiness holding me back.
