Rigorously researched and packed full of revelations, biographer Andrew Lownie sheds light on the lives of the Duke and Duchess of York. Drawing on four years of research, numerous FOI requests and interviews with more than a 100 people who have never spoken before, Andrew traces the lives of the late Queens second son and his ex-wife through their childhoods, courtship, marriage, divorce, careers and royal and charitable activities. The first joint biography of the Duke and Duchess chronicles their lives in parallel. The picture that emerges is of a spoilt prince unable to connect and a duchess pushed by her insecurities into a desperate need to maintain the attention her royal status brought.
