*THE SENSATIONAL NEW ROYAL BIOGRAPHY FROM THE NO.1 BESTSELLING INVESTIGATIVE BIOGRAPHER, TOM BOWER*
'Juicy... A Bower news bomb is always something of a publishing event' Tina Brown, Observer
'Explosive' - The Times
'A fascinating read' - Evening Standard
'Sensational... A brutal, forensic takedown of the House of Sussex at its most fragile moment yet' The Daily Beast, The Royalist Podcast with Tom Sykes
'The Royal Family's vulnerability was exposed... Treachery in the family was rarely rewarded - as Harry and Meghan realised. The Palace chose silence as its only option... Few could anticipate the endgame.'
The British Crown is in crisis, with constitutional threats at home and abroad. Since their infamous 'Megxit' split from the Royal Family, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have dominated global headlines. Ferociously controversial, not least for demanding privacy while seeking the spotlight, the Sussexes have remained a subject of gripping fascination for both supporters and cynics alike. Both camps are united on one platform: what is the endgame?
Fighting to preserve their royal titles and privileges, In their attempts to create a Sussex brand the couple have fuelled bitter hostility. Accusations of disloyalty have been trumped by recriminations about dishonesty. Amid High Court battles with the government and the media, and the infamous publication of Spare, the Sussexes have reeled after successive Netflix flops and their doomed collaboration with Spotify - only to be ridiculed for Meghan's self-invention as a domestic goddess.
At a landmark moment in royal history, the Sussexes' challenge to the British monarchy echoes worldwide. The fallout always threatens to be catastrophic. Just five years on from 'Megxit', can King Charles overcome the scandals that blight the family and limit the Sussexes' threat to the monarchy? Can the broken bonds between the Houses of Sussex and Windsor ever be repaired or will the King choose to strip them of their titles and banish them forever? The Sussexes are in a race against time to solve their predicament.
With inimitable research and exclusive interviews from insiders, Britain's leading investigative biographer Tom Bower exposes the latest contortions in the explosive Royal saga of power and betrayal.
'Tom Bower is the Inspector Morse of investigative biographers, a fluent, phlegmatic story-teller and a master of intricacies.' Sunday Times
