2002 marks the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II. This is the longest reign of any monarch of the House of Windsor - yet the future of the monarchy is by no means certain, not simply due to today's more egalitarian era, but also because of fundamental weaknesses within the Royal house itself . But while its peccadilloes and failings are well known, it has managed to hide from public scrutiny some considerably more disturbing activities for which the royals have never been held to account. Until now.
In this controversial new book, bestselling authors Lynn Picknett, Clive Prince and Stephen Prior reveal the truth behind Britain's modern monarchy.
Among other things, the book: the full extent of the battle for power of various dynastic groups, in particular Lord Louis Mountbatten's ruthless scheming to make Britain's ruling family the House of Mountbatten, the real untold story of the abdication of Edward VII, the unconstitutional behaviour of all the House of Windsor - particularly the Queen Mother, the cover up of major financial scandals connected with George VI and other kings, and that the Palace line is a lie, revealed in letters from Queen Victoria long locked away in the royal archives.
