First published 1997
Investigative biographer Kitty Kelley penetrates the private world of Britain's most watched family. Her unauthorized examination takes readers inside Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, and Kensington Palace to reveal the personal dramas that unfold away from public view. Kelley focuses on Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, and Princess Diana, documenting the failed marriages and romantic entanglements that have defined recent decades of royal history. She chronicles how spouses, lovers, and children became casualties of these relationships, suffering lasting damage from the fallout. The author's controversial approach spares no member of the House of Windsor, presenting an unvarnished account of royal life that contradicts the carefully maintained public image. This behind-the-scenes investigation offers readers access to palace secrets and personal scandals that shaped one of the world's most scrutinized families.
