The palace papers

inside the House of Windsor -- the truth and the turmoil
2022
Based on years of research and intimate sources, The Palace Papers invites readers behind the palace walls to tell the real story of the Windsors over the past twenty-five years. Picking up where The Diana Chronicles left off, Brown reveals how the Royal Family reinvented themselves after the traumatic death of Princess Diana. This book shows the Queen's resolve as she coped with the passing of Prince Philip, Princess Margaret and the Queen Mother, and triumphed in her Jubilee years even as the family dramas raged around her. Brown explores Prince Charles's determination to make Camilla his wife, the tension between William and Harry on 'different paths', the rise of Kate Middleton, the disturbing allegations surrounding Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein, and Harry and Meghan's stunning decision to 'step back' as senior royals.
