Synopsis

A New York Times bestseller.
From bestselling author and historical consultant to the award-winning Netflix series The Crown, an unparalleled insider account of tumult, secrecy and schism in the Royal family. The world has watched Prince William and Prince Harry since they were born. Raised by Princess Diana to be the closest of brothers, how have the boy princes grown into very different, now distanced men? From royal insider, biographer and historian Robert Lacey, this book reveals the untold details of William and Harry’s closeness and estrangement, asking what happens when two sons are raised for vastly different futures – one burdened with the responsibility of one day becoming king, the other with the knowledge that he will always remain spare. How have William and Harry both agreed and diverged in their views of what a modern royal owes to their country? Were the seeds of damage sowed by Prince Charles and Princess Diana as their marriage unraveled for all the world to see? In the previous generation, how have Prince Charles and Prince Andrew’s own relations strained under the Crown? What role has Queen Elizabeth II played in marshalling her feuding heirs? What parts have Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle played in helping their husbands to choose their differing paths? And what is the real, unvarnished story behind Harry and Meghan’s dramatic departure? In the most intimate vision yet of life behind closed doors, with its highs, lows and discretions all laid out, this is a journey into royal life as never offered before.

4.5 Stars British author Robert Lacey was a familiar name to me as I own a lot of hardcover books from back in the 80s and 90s about The Windsors- in particular Princess Diana. I just perused my bookcase and found a beautiful cocktail book about Princess Diana from this author dated 1982. Boy, has so......more

Goodreads review by marta (sezon literacki) on April 11, 2021

1.5/2 Dla mnie to niestety bardzo słaba książka. Przede wszystkim od samego początku atakują nas liczne błędy, które bardzo zaburzają odbiór. Niektóre są wręcz zabawne - np. gdy Meghan zostaje nazwana synową królowej bądź królowa teściową Meghan. Inne odrobinę niepokojące biorąc pod uwagę tematykę ks......more

Goodreads review by Gary on October 21, 2020

I am not a royal-watcher at any level. Nor do I follow the celebrity news. I have never watched the Kardashians and can only name one of the sisters. So why did I buy and read this book? I am an armchair philosopher and student of people. And I have been intrigued as to why a prince and his wife woul......more

(research) In as much as you can trust books about a royal family, I found this one to be quite balanced. Nobody comes out of this smelling of flowers, though.......more

Goodreads review by Becky on October 24, 2020

This book is snarky. You have to be willing to read between the lines and find the point between tabloid regurgitation and Lacey’s opinions. If you think either the Cambridge’s or the Sussexes are saints, you’ll be disappointed by this book. But if you take the snark into account, this book has plen......more
