Resumen del Editor

Featuring unreported details and stunning revelations, the long-awaited follow-up to the “fabulous, addictive” (Chicago Sun-Times) New York Times best seller Diana’s Boys explores the last 20 years in the lives of Princes William and Harry and the evolution of their relationship as adults, with one brother the designated heir, and the other doomed to life as the spare - perfect for fans of Netflix’s The Crown.

Diana’s Boys revealed the powerful bond between the teenaged princes and how it strengthened even more in the wake of their mother’s tragic death. Now, 20 years later, Queen Elizabeth II is in her mid-90s, Prince Charles is in his 70s, and all eyes are turned increasingly toward William and Harry again. Christopher Andersen picks up where he left off, covering everything that has happened to the brothers as they have grown up, gotten married to two remarkable women, and had children - all while facing continual waves of controversy and questions about the ways their relationship has shifted.

Andersen examines how the queen’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering to mold her grandsons in the Windsor image after Diana’s death, and her expectations of William as the future king, played out. He questions whether the brothers’ famously close relationship can survive Harry’s departure from the royal family - the first time this has happened since their great-great-uncle King Edward abdicated the throne to marry a divorcée. He delves into the impact sisters-in-law Kate and Meghan have had on each other as well as on their princes, and how marriage and fatherhood have changed the brothers and, in some ways, also driven a wedge between them. Andersen also looks with an honest eye at how the princes and their wives have been continuously buffeted by scandal - including headline-making allegations of bullying, racism, betrayal, and emotional abuse that has pushed more than one royal to the brink of self-destruction.

Based on in-depth research and with his “fascinating and insightful” (The Christian Science Monitor) writing, Andersen leaves no stone unturned in this intimate and riveting look into the private lives of the world’s most famous princes.

A story about Diana

The word Diana was probably said a good 150 times. All I took away from this listen was that Will and Harry are the only people who have ever lost a mother.

Good Read

This seems to have good documentation to details.
The book shares details that I must have not heard or it is being written in true details behind the scene information of why and why not the “Firm” related to scandal.

Brothers and Wives

I liked it. I have read several books on the subject and this one isn't the best, but isn't the worst either. Facts are not told in the same way as the other books.

Fascinating

You never know what’s true but you sure hear a lot of things. I liked this book because it seemed less sensational and more matter of fact. You realize the prison the royals must be in and the privileges they have, too. A fascination read!

Nothing new…

It was a good listen, but not really new insights or info if you follow the Royals.

A sad tale.

A good read, but sad tale of their ruptured relationship. I know we all hope that they can dig deep to repair their bond. In the end, they share so much and the distance between them Is heartbreaking.

Good book

I have been a Royal Fan for years. I found the material to follow the correct time lines. I especially like some of the details that I was not aware of. I do consider myself very knowledge able about This Rein of QE2

Exceptional

Exceptional narrative of the two Royal brothers. From their births thru 2022. Excellent explanation of what it means to be a Royal!

Good read. Seems Factual

Author portrays character of subjects in a fair and consistent manner. Descriptions of events presented realistically.

Many untruths

If you’re a H&M fan you’ll love this fable. I, not being a fan, was very disappointed for its bias towards H&M. So many stories this author was spewing were seemingly directly from Harry’s Spare book, and NOT what most reasonable people believe to be the truth. Really hard to listen to….lie after lie after lie!
