Publisher Description
Featuring unreported details and stunning revelations, the long-awaited follow-up to the “fabulous, addictive” (Chicago Sun-Times) New York Times bestseller Diana’s Boys explores the last twenty years in the lives of Princes William and Harry and the evolution of their relationship as adults, with one brother the designated heir, and the other doomed to life as the spare—perfect for fans of Netflix’s The Crown.
Diana’s Boys revealed the powerful bond between the teenaged princes, and how it strengthened even more in the wake of their mother’s tragic death. Now, twenty years later, Queen Elizabeth II is in her mid-nineties, Prince Charles is in his seventies, and all eyes are turned increasingly toward William and Harry again. Christopher Andersen picks up where he left off, covering everything that has happened to the brothers as they have grown up, gotten married to two remarkable women, and had children—all while facing continual waves of controversy and questions about the ways their relationship has shifted.
Andersen examines how the Queen’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering to mold her grandsons in the Windsor image after Diana’s death, and her expectations of William as the future king, played out. He questions whether the brothers’ famously close relationship can survive Harry’s departure from the Royal Family—the first time this has happened since their great-great-uncle King Edward abdicated the throne to marry a divorcée. He delves into the impact sisters-in-law Kate and Meghan have had on each other as well as on their princes, and how marriage and fatherhood have changed the brothers and, in some ways, also driven a wedge between them. Andersen also looks with an honest eye at how the princes and their wives have been continuously buffeted by scandal—including headline-making allegations of bullying, racism, betrayal, and emotional abuse that has pushed more than one royal to the brink of self-destruction.
Based on in-depth research and with his “fascinating and insightful” (The Christian Science Monitor) writing, Andersen leaves no stone unturned in this intimate and riveting look into the private lives of the world’s most famous princes.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Family life often comes with pressures, but as this fascinating book explores, the United Kingdom’s royal family takes it to the next level. Celebrity researcher Christopher Andersen dives into the lives of Prince William and Prince Harry, drawing on quotes taken directly from their close confidantes and palace staff. From adolescent William balancing his training for kingship with his concerns for his mother, Princess Diana, to Harry falling into dangerous self-medicating in the years after Diana’s death, Andersen reveals a dark side to the brothers’ seemingly charmed lives. But it’s the events surrounding “Megxit”—Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle’s departure from royal life—that really shocked us. The microaggressions they faced (including their sudden removal from the Queen’s photo collection during a public address) left us shocked. Actor Nicholas Boulton’s pointed delivery enhances the drama (and so does his British accent!). Get ready to hear the unbelievable truths behind some of Britain’s most scandalous headlines.
