Windsor Castle: Behind the Closed Doors
The British monarchy is careening from scandal to scandal just as Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee approaches. Andrew is no longer His Royal Highness. Harry and Meghan have stepped away from the royal family and lost their patronages. Prince Charles is determined to make Camilla his queen. And Kate Middleton seems ascendant amid the palace intrigue.

No one is better equipped to answer those questions than Tina Brown, who is picking up where The Diana Chronicles left off with The Palace Papers.
