No.1 Bestseller The Sunday Times Bestseller THE ROYAL BOOK OF THE
YEAR _________________________________ 'Eye-poppingly revealing. .
. impeccable sources, historical heft and canny insights served up
with a zingy wit. There are many royal biographers, but few as good
as this. She turns gossip into the first draft of history.'
TELEGRAPH From the Queen's stoic resolve to the crisis of Meghan
and Harry. From the ascendance of Camilla and Kate to the downfall
of Andrew. Full of remarkable inside access, The Palace Papers by
Sunday Times bestselling author Tina Brown will change how you
understand the Royal Family. 'Clever, well-informed and
disgustingly entertaining' THE TIMES 'There are royal books, and
there are royal books. But The Palace Papers is in a genre of its
own' RADIO TIMES 'Jaw dropping! What a book . . . if you ever want
to feel like a fly on the wall of any of the palaces, this is it.'
LORRAINE KELLY 'Brown's prose has the swoosh of an enjoyably OTT
ballgown' FINANCIAL TIMES 'The world's sharpish and best-informed
royal expert' PIERS MORGAN 'Riveting and rigorous' PANDORA SYKES 'A
witty, rip-roaring read . . . full off perceptive and witty
observations' i Newspaper 'A rollicking ride through recent royal
family history . . . Tina Brown's sparkling prose and eye for
detail enliven an entertaining expose' OBSERVER 'The most explosive
royal book of the year' THE SUN 'Gloriously irreverent, racily
written and often very funny. The early chapters on the long affair
between Prince Charles and Camilla read like a non-fiction version
of Jilly Cooper's Rutshire Chronicles' NEW STATESMAN 'A motherlode
of delectable gossip . . . Brown has produced a work both scholarly
and scandalous that makes us think about what the post-Elizabethan
world may bring, alternately amusing and horrifying us along the
way . . . vivid and richly-embroidered' INDEPENDENT 'The devil is
in the delicious detail . . . Brown tackles her subjects with the
same brio she brought to her years as a highly regarded magazine
editor . . . Her access to those who flit around the royals gives
her writing an edgy authenticity' DAILY MAIL 'Brown thrashes her
way through absolutely everything that has happened to the family
since the end of the last book in 1997 . . . Charles and Camilla
are vividly brought to life in a series of well-researched stories
and anecdotes' SUNDAY TIMES 'The Palace Papers is a sharp-nibbed
observation of a generation of tumult for the House of Windsor,
bookended by the deaths of Princess Diana and Prince Philip. It's a
story about media as much as monarchy, and it draws from almost
every chapter in Brown's career in journalism' FINANCIAL TIMES
'It's hard to look away as Tina Brown delves into decades' worth of
royal scandals' GUARDIAN 'Utter brilliance . . . a rip-roaring
read' SCOTSMAN 'A brilliant book. Tina Brown has inside knowledge
and writes so well' LADY ANNE GLENCONNER (author of Lady in
Waiting) _________________________________ 'Never again', became
Queen Elizabeth II's mantra shortly after Diana's death. More
specifically, there could never be 'another Diana' - a member of
the family whose global popularity upstaged, outshone, and posed an
existential threat to the British monarchy. Picking up where The
Diana Chronicles left off, The Palace Papers reveals how the royal
family reinvented itself after the traumatic years when Diana's
blazing celebrity ripped through the House of Windsor like a comet.
Tina Brown takes readers on a tour de force journey that shows the
Queen's stoic resolve as she coped with the passing of Princess
Margaret, the Queen Mother and her partner for seven decades,
Prince Philip, and triumphed in her Jubilee years even as the
family dramas raged around her. She explores Prince Charles's
determination to make Camilla his queen, the tension between
William and Harry who are on 'different paths', the ascendance Kate
Middleton, the disturbing allegations surrounding Prince Andrew and
Jeffrey Epstein, and Harry and Meghan's stunning decision to 'step
back' as senior royals. Despite the fragile monarchy's best
efforts, 'never again' seems fast approaching.
