520			_a"Their Majesties as I Knew Them" by Xavier Paoli is a personal reminiscence published in the early 20th century. The book provides a unique perspective on European royalty, as the author recounts his experiences and encounters with various kings and queens during his tenure as a protector and observer. Through his eyes, readers are offered glimpses into the lives and personalities of these royal figures, revealing the complexities behind their public personas. At the start of the book, the author reflects on his role as the special commissioner protecting foreign royals in France. Readers are introduced to Xavier Paoli himself, characterized as an affable and skilled diplomat with deep connections to the sovereigns he serves. The opening portion specifically focuses on the Empress Elizabeth of Austria, presenting her as a melancholic yet captivating figure, marked by a life of both beauty and tragedy. Through intimate observations, we learn about her daily routines, her love for nature, and her interactions during her visits to France, all of which set the stage for the deeply personal and historical narrative that follows in Paoli's memoirs.
