Entitled

The Rise and Fall of the House of York

De: Andrew Lownie

Narrado por: Andrew Lownie

Entitled is the first joint biography of Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson by renowned royal biographer and literary agent, Andrew Lownie.

Packed full of extraordinary revelations, Entitled reveals the extent to which Andrew and Fergie’s lives are still deeply entwined. Drawing on four years of research, numerous FOI requests, and interviews with over a hundred people who have never spoken before, Andrew Lownie traces the lives of the late Queen’s second son and his ex-wife through their childhoods, courtship, marriage, divorce, careers, and royal and charitable activities.

Investigating the reality of their relationship, it assesses Andrew’s Falklands record, his business dealings, and reveals new details of how the couple have been able to financially sustain their extravagant lifestyles. It also delves deeper into links with Jeffrey Epstein, which began earlier, continued longer, and were much more frequent than reported.

Awful delivery

Should have pain someone to read it. The author’s delivery was very wooden and I almost quit listening due to that.

Why do authors think they should narrate their books?

Would have been better with another narrator. Info was ok but author rushed through the narration in a very monotone voice, Did not enjoy.,

Mumbling Narration of Fascinating Book

The author narrates the book, and he mumbles. I listened at .90 and it helped a little, but he doesn’t enunciate. His voice is thin - not robust - and he swallows a lot of consonants. (I must disclose that I am American, so perhaps Brits view his speech differently.) I love listening to Mr. Lownie on interviews, so it seems there is something about the Audible recording that impacts the narration. As far as the content, however, it is a fascinating story, albeit sickening. I commend the author for his depth of research and frank approach. Fergie and Andrew are two peas in the same pod of narcissism. If I were a British taxpayer, I would not want to continue to support them. Andrew is an embarrassment to his mother. Then again, it was her permissive hand that appears to have facilitated his arrogance, self-importance, and lack of empathy.

Thorough & credible, w new details

I liked all of it. The Yorks are diligently exposed for the trash they are.

No Teddy Bears were harmed in the making of this book

I guess it’s a story about two five year olds who were neglected and raised without boundaries, now in adult bodies. They do just about anything to amass hundreds of expensive Teddy Bears, and other toys, and use sex as a means to satisfy their cravings for attention.
Seriously, it was very well researched. I am amazed about the level of grifting. If they were not privileged, they would be in jail.
I don’t think I would of finished reading it in book form because it just made me sad. I think less of the British monarchy now. I finished the audible because I had purchased it.
