Power and Glory - As seen on Channel 4’s Edward vs George
Now the basis of a major documentary, this dramatic conclusion to the 'Windsors trilogy' draws on never-before-seen correspondence and diaries from monarchs and politicians
The book draws on extensive unpublished correspondence between major members of the Royal Family, including George VI, Princess Elizabeth, and the Duke of Windsor, the Prime Ministers Clement Attlee and Winston Churchill, and previously unseen diaries and memoranda from courtiers, personal secretaries, and leading politicians. It explores everything from the King's declining health to the (often negative) reactions to Elizabeth's marriage to Prince Philip and Coronation.
Power and Glory features the same intricately researched and incisively written account of Britain's most famous family as Larman's previous books, but on an epic international scale. It covers everything from the end of British rule in India to the foundation of the United Nations, and the crucial role that monarchy played in the ever-shifting era—as well, naturally, as the way in which the Duke and Duchess of Windsor attempted to return to relevance, whatever the cost might be to the wider Royal Family.
