Vanity Fair Royals correspondent and bestselling author of William and Harry and Kate explores the remarkable life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth II, with new chapters to include the last few months of her reign, and the rise of King Charles III.
For seventy years, Queen Elizabeth ruled over an institution and a family. During her lifetime she was constant in her desire to provide a steady presence and to be a trustworthy steward of the British people and the Commonwealth. In the face of her uncle’s abdication, in the uncertainty of the Blitz, and in the tentative exposure of her family and private life to the public via the press, Elizabeth became synonymous with the crown.
But times change. Recent years have brought grief and turmoil to the House of Windsor, and even as England celebrated the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, there were calls for a changing of the guard.
In The New Royals, journalist Katie Nicholl provides a nuanced look at Elizabeth’s remarkable and unrivalled reign, with new stories from Palace courtiers and aides, documentarians, and family members. She examines King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla’s decades in waiting and beyond—where “The Firm” is headed as William and Kate present the modern faces of an ancient institution. In the wake of Harry and Meghan leaving the Royal Family and Prince Andrew’s spectacular fall from grace, the royal family must reckon with its history, the light and the dark, in order to chart a course for Britain beyond its Queen and to show that it is an institution capable of leadership in an ever-changing modern world.

If you know little or nothing about the royal family then this is a very good book. If, however, you’re looking for a new or insider perspective, you’ll probably be disappointed. Yes, there are a few tiny nuggets of new information, but nothing totally unexpected or shocking. Her treatment of Meghan and Harry is mild compared to some other books out there. As a whole, her reverence for the royal family shines through and this can be a good thing to some people and and an irritation to others who want the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
The book is good, not great.
Not Worth The Hype
