THE SCANDALOUS TRUTH BEHIND THE CROWN

From the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Catherine, The Princess of Wales: The Biography

From Elizabeth II to soon-to-be King William, The Windsor Legacy offers a riveting exploration of the British monarchy's resilience and influence over the past century, looking at its key players and conflicts, with a forward-looking examination of its future.

In an age where resilience is essential, The Windsor Legacy delivers an enthralling narrative of inspiration and royal intrigue. Penned by Robert Jobson, a Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author and a front-line royal correspondent for over three decades, this extraordinary work will take readers deep into the heart of royal history as well as through the secrets and scandals that plague it to this day.

From the abdication crisis, royal family entanglements, Cold War espionage, betrayal, scandalous love affairs, to more recent constitutional crises and the monarchy's most closely guarded secrets and feuds. The historic narrative romp, told through the key characters and clashes at the heart of the family, will be packed with exclusive revelations and be as comprehensive as it is captivating.
