About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the queen's stoic resolve to the crisis of Meghan and Harry. From the ascendance of Camilla and Kate to the downfall of Andrew.
Full of remarkable inside access, The Palace Papers by Sunday Times best-selling author Tina Brown will change how you understand the Royal Family.
'Never again', became Queen Elizabeth II's mantra shortly after Diana's death. More specifically, there could never be 'another Diana'—a member of the family whose global popularity upstaged, outshone and posed an existential threat to the British monarchy. Picking up where The Diana Chronicles left off, The Palace Papers reveals how the royal family reinvented itself after the traumatic years when Diana's blazing celebrity ripped through the House of Windsor like a comet.
Tina Brown takes listeners on a tour de force journey that shows the queen's stoic resolve as she coped with the passing of Princess Margaret, the Queen Mother and her partner for seven decades, Prince Philip, and triumphed in her Jubilee years even as the family dramas raged around her. She explores Prince Charles's determination to make Camilla his queen, the tension between William and Harry who are on 'different paths', the ascendance of Kate Middleton, the disturbing allegations surrounding Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein and Harry and Meghan's stunning decision to 'step back' as senior royals. Despite the fragile monarchy's best efforts, 'never again' seems fast approaching.

"A brilliant book. Tina Brown has inside knowledge and writes so well." (Lady Anne Glenconner, author of Lady in Waiting)
It always broke my heart that William and Harry lost their mother so young. Clearly Harry has unresolved issues for which I hope he gets the help he needs. Unfortunately I believe it left him susceptible to fall under the spell of the disingenuous Meghan. Time will tell …
Fantastic

Anyway let’s get back to the substance of the book. The author is obviously a more of a traditionalist supporter of the Royal family in the way she bigs up Charles, Camellia, William & Catherine, whilst at the same time being biased & critical & of Diana, Harry & Meghan. The later 3 are and always have been my favourite royals apart from Queen. She did get the characteristics of Her Majesty spot on, praising the way she has served our country impeccably for the past 70 years. There are one or 2 things contained within the book that I’ve not heard previously. All in all a very enjoyable listen.

Although some proclamations seemed controversial, the overall impression is eminently likely to be accurate. it was compelling and provocative. It certainly convinces me that the travesty written by Omid Scobie and Meghan Markle only found a pile of detritus , not Freedom.
Perfect Papers

Weve all read bits about this subject but this order and facts are wrapped up in subtle humour as well .
You can’t take it all in the first read - yes I read it twice - that’s a first for me ! Or maybe just a man thing …..
