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.
