'Fascinating' The Times 'Tantalising . . . Low's conclusion is a
valuable one.' The Telegraph The gripping account of how the Royal
family really operates from the man who has spent years studying
them in his role as Royal correspondent for The Times. Valentine
Low asks the important questions: who really runs the show and, as
Charles III begins his reign, what will happen next? Throughout
history, the British monarchy has relied on its courtiers - the
trusted advisers in the King or Queen's inner circle - to ensure
its survival as a family, an ancient institution, and a pillar of
the constitution. Today, as ever, a vast team of people hidden from
view steers the royal family's path between public duty and private
life. Queen Elizabeth II, after a remarkable 70 years of service,
saw the final seasons of her reign without her husband Philip to
guide her. Meanwhile, newly ascended Charles seeks to define what
his future as King, and that of his court, will be. The question of
who is entrusted to guide the royals has never been more vital, and
yet the task those courtiers face has never been more challenging.
With a cloud hanging over Prince Andrew as well as Harry and
Meghan's departure from royal life, the complex relationship
between modern courtiers and royal principals has been exposed to
global scrutiny. As the new Prince and Princess of Wales, William
and Kate - equipped with a very 21st century approach to press and
public relations - now hold the responsibility of making an ancient
institution relevant for the decades to come. Courtiers reveals an
ever-changing system of complex characters, shifting values and
ideas over what the future of the institution should be. This is
the story of how the monarchy really works, at a pivotal moment in
its history.
