Overview
The gripping account of how the Royal family operates, from the journalist who has spent years studying them. Who really runs the show and, as Charles III begins his reign, what will happen next?
Throughout history, the British monarchy has relied on its courtiers—the trusted advisers in the King or Queen's inner circle—to ensure its survival as a family and a pillar of the country. Today, a carefully selected team of people hidden from view steers the royal family's path between public duty and private life. Queen Elizabeth II, after 70 years of service, saw the final seasons of her reign without her husband Philip to guide her. Now, a newly ascended Charles seeks to define what his future as King, and that of his court, will be.
The question of who is entrusted to guide the royals has never been more vital. Yet, as the tensions within the family are exposed to global scrutiny like never before, the task these courtiers face has never been more challenging. With a dark cloud hanging over Prince Andrew and Harry and Meghan's controversial departure, William and Kate—equipped with a 21st century approach to public relations—now hold the responsibility of making an ancient institution relevant. In fascinating and explosive detail, Valentine Low explores the previously unknown relationship between modern courtiers and the royal family.
Courtiers pulls back the veil to reveal an ever-changing system of complex characters, shifting alliances, and battles of ideas over the future of the institution. This is the inside story of how the monarchy really works at a pivotal moment in its history.
