Description
Telling the story of their lives from children to modern day, this fascinating and revelatory new book examines the fraught relationship and fiery rivalry between King Charles and Prince Andrew.
Raised for vastly different futures, one burdened with the responsibility of becoming the future king and the other destined to live in his shadow, Charles and Andrew have spent their lives on different sides of the same coin.
War of the Windsors tells, for the first time, the complete story of Charles and Andrew from their diverging childhoods to their current struggles. It looks at the distinct but overlapping stories of the two heirs, from being separated in their early years and the Queen's supposed overindulgence of Andrew to the competition for Lady Diana and finally, Charles' ascension to the throne while his brother is stripped of Royal duties. It explores whether, with the scandals around Andrew still fresh in public memory, Charles will ever let his brother back into the family.
With extensive research and expert sourcing, War of the Windsors is the incredible inside story of a family in turmoil. Recounting the highs and lows of a brotherhood turned into a rivalry, royal author and journalist Nigel Cawthorne examines the makings of a decades-long feud and questions whether, ultimately, the brothers will one day band together again.
