Simon Prebble
The number-one New York Times best-selling author of William and Kate and The Day Diana Died takes a compulsively listenable look into the relationships and rivalries of Queen Elizabeth, Camilla Parker Bowles, and Kate Middleton.
One has been famous longer than anyone on the planet - a wily stateswoman and an enduring symbol of a fading institution. One is the great-granddaughter of a king's mistress and a celebrated homewrecker who survived a firestorm of scorn to marry her lover and replace her archrival, a beloved 20th-century figure. One is a beautiful commoner, the university-educated daughter of a self-made entrepreneur, a fashion idol, and wife and mother to two future kings.
Master biographer Christopher Andersen takes listeners behind palace walls to examine the surprising similarities and stark differences among three remarkable women - Queen Elizabeth; Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall; and Princess Kate. Andersen reveals what transpires within the royal family away from the public's prying eyes; how the women actually feel about each other; how they differ as lovers, wives, and mothers; and how they are reshaping the landscape of the monarchy in this addictive listen that will shock even those who are spellbound by the royal palace.

It felt more like a recap as opposed to a real in-depth biographical examinations of their lives, a beginner’s look, so it did feel a bit like tittle-tattle. Salacious gossipy bits like Philip’s philandering, Charles’ love child and William’s smoking were presented as fact instead of rumour; I feel it must all be taken with a grain of salt.
The “what if” scenarios at the start of the book going through the events that will supposedly follow the Queen’s death were interesting.
More recap than bio.

There was a little bit of new information, mainly about various scandals and shortcomings. The narrator was the best part of the book for me.
Much more Gossip than I Expected
