Battle of Brothers: William and Harry The Inside Story of a Family in Tumult | Robert Lacey
5 posts | 7 read
From bestselling author and historical consultant to the award-winning Netflix series The Crown, an unparalleled insider account of tumult, secrecy and schism in the Royal family. The world has watched Prince William and Prince Harry since they were born. Raised by Princess Diana to be the closest of brothers, how have the boy princes grown into very different, now distanced men? From royal insider, biographer and historian Robert Lacey, this book reveals the untold details of William and Harrys closeness and estrangement, asking what happens when two sons are raised for vastly different futures one burdened with the responsibility of one day becoming king, the other with the knowledge that he will always remain spare. How have William and Harry both agreed and diverged in their views of what a modern royal owes to their country? Were the seeds of damage sowed by Prince Charles and Princess Diana as their marriage unraveled for all the world to see? In the previous generation, how have Prince Charles and Prince Andrews own relations strained under the Crown? What role has Queen Elizabeth II played in marshalling her feuding heirs? What parts have Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle played in helping their husbands to choose their differing paths? And what is the real, unvarnished story behind Harry and Meghans dramatic departure? In the most intimate vision yet of life behind closed doors, with its highs, lows and discretions all laid out, this is a journey into royal life as never offered before.

100% entertaining, but since I was listening to it it seemed to end abruptly. I was expecting to hear about William and Harry meeting at the Diana statue unveiling and at Philip‘s funeral, but the books stops at the beginning and of the pandemic.

After 5 years of US political insanity, and 18 months of a plague, I‘m being nosey about other people‘s problems😏
The more I read, the more I think the Sussexes effed this up🤦🏻‍♀️
They have reasons to be unhappy, yes.
But if they had proceeded patiently, I think they could have found a better solution.
This veers off into a rant about Meghan. But before that last chapter, there‘s great value in this review of the dynamics & history of these 4.

Cinfhen I LOVE this review❤️#CuriousMindsWantToKnow 3y

For a book written by an Historian I was dismayed at the clear bias displayed.
While there is no doubt a lot of factual detail there was also a fair amount of speculation which was clearly showing a tendency toward favour over some members of the Royal family.
There was some interesting information regarding how the monarchy works. But overall I didn‘t think this was much more than tabloid fodder itself.
