Vanity Fair Royals correspondent and bestselling author of William and Harry and Kate, Katie Nicholl, delves into the extraordinary life and lasting legacy of Queen Elizabeth II, now updated with additional chapters covering the final months of her reign and the ascension of King Charles III.
For seven decades, Queen Elizabeth held sway over both an institution and a family. Throughout her lifetime, she remained steadfast in her commitment to provide a stable presence and serve as a reliable steward for the British people and the Commonwealth. From the challenges of her uncle's abdication to the uncertainties of the Blitz and the gradual exposure of her family's private life to the public through the press, Elizabeth became synonymous with the crown.
However, the tides of change are inevitable. Recent years have brought challenges and upheavals to the House of Windsor. Even as England commemorated the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, there were calls for a transition in leadership.
In The New Royals, journalist Katie Nicholl presents a nuanced exploration of Elizabeth's unparalleled and enduring reign, featuring fresh insights from Palace courtiers, aides, documentarians, and family members. Nicholl scrutinizes King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla's decades-long wait and the path that lies ahead as William and Kate emerge as the modern faces of this age-old institution. In the aftermath of Harry and Meghan's departure from the Royal Family and Prince Andrew's significant fall from favor, the royal family must confront its history—the light and the dark—to navigate a future beyond Queen Elizabeth. This book underscores the institution's capacity for leadership in a dynamically evolving modern world.
