In The Diana Chronicles, you will meet a formidable female cast and understand as never before the society that shaped them: among them, Diana's sexually charged mother, her bad-girl sister-in-law, Fergie, and, most formidable of them all, her mother-in-law, the Queen. Add Camilla Parker-Bowles, the ultimate "other woman" into this combustible mix, and it's no wonder that Diana broke out of her royal cage into celebrity culture, where she found her own power and used it to devastating effect.

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.

Story
This is the story of how King Charles was shaped and moulded by his heritage. His mother was the woman he always loved but could never be close to. As Queen she held the Pandora’s box of the crown and all he could do was wait and learn. In his mother’s old age, he finally received the affection and respect from her he had craved for so long. This book documents his life through many personal anecdotes from his family and his friends from the moment the guns saluted his birth until St. Edwards Crown was placed on his head and he was officially declared as the King at his Coronation.

Story
In The Diana Chronicles, you will meet a formidable female cast and understand as never before the society that shaped them: among them, Diana's sexually charged mother, her bad-girl sister-in-law, Fergie, and, most formidable of them all, her mother-in-law, the Queen. Add Camilla Parker-Bowles, the ultimate "other woman" into this combustible mix, and it's no wonder that Diana broke out of her royal cage into celebrity culture, where she found her own power and used it to devastating effect.

Story
Renowned biographer Andrew Morton takes an in-depth look at Britain’s longest reigning monarch, exploring the influence Queen Elizabeth has had on both Britain and the rest of the world for much of the last century. From leading a nation struggling to restore itself after the devastation of the second World War to navigating the divisive political landscape of the present day, Queen Elizabeth has been a reluctant but resolute queen. This is the story of a woman of unflagging self-discipline who will long be remembered as mother and grandmother to Great Britain.

Fawning
Would you try another book from Katie Nicholl and/or Sue Pitkin?
Probably not.
What was most disappointing about Katie Nicholl’s story?
Kate is lovely and inspiring to many. So her story seemed like it would be interesting. It wasn't. A privileged girl enters the privileged set then the poor thing has to deal with being famous. The fawning narrative had the opposite effect and turned me off.
I truly wanted to understand the fascination - but this book is like a really long press release.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Sound more matter of fact and less fawning.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No.

Interesting, But Nothing Really New
This was an interesting story but nothing deeply revealing or insightful. The information about Catherine’s background and childhood was interesting. If you have followed her closely through the years there isn’t much new.

Enjoyable - but ........
Katie Nicholl is an English Royal reporter and her knowledge is well researched and truthful. I was disappointed with the narration as Sue Pitkin pronounced several words incorrectly - maybe for an American audience! As a true blue Brit myself who speaks the Queen’s English, I found this a little annoying and wanting to correct her .... 🤔

Casual read
The book was decent, with one or two new bits of insider information. The performance was not good as there were a multitude of mispronounciations.

Interesting Story, but Too Much Repeated Material
What would have made Kate: The Future Queen better?
This was not a Bona Fide new book. Huge sections of it were word-for-word repeats of sections from this author's other books. It would have been better if the parts of this book that were new and unique had been added to one of her earlier books.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Haven't decided what my next listen will be, yet.
What didn’t you like about Sue Pitkin’s performance?
The performance was a little dull and almost monotone. It needed to be livelier.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
This book had several redeeming qualities. It was well written and the parts that were actually new and original were great! The author has a very balanced view of her subject matter and has a perspective that is refreshing.
Any additional comments?
There was A LOT of recycled material in this book. Too much of it was lifted directly from other material from this author. It isn't fair to re-sell warmed over editions of earlier books. If you ask your fans to purchase a new book then you owe them the courtesy of actually writing a full blown NEW book. It is kind of a cheat to write a few new chapters and insert them into old material that we have already purchased. I couldn't believe it when I kept hearing huge sections that were in the other books! Not Cool!
The new stuff was really good. There just wasn't enough new stuff to make a whole book, the the little bit of original information contained here just wasn't enough. It would have been better to update the other book to include the material that was featured here.
