Philip and Elizabeth

Great fun to read; written with bouncy charm, but shot through with penetrating insights. Sunday TelegraphThis is the first major biography of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh both royal, both great great great grandchildren of Queen Victoria, but in temperament and upbringing very different people. Her childhood was loving and secure, his turbulent: the Duke’s grandfather was assassinated, his father arrested, his family exiled, his parents separated by the time he was ten. For almost sixty years theirs have been among the most famous faces in the world yet the personalities behind the image remain elusive, and the nature of their marriage is an enigma. Gyles Brandreth has met all the principal players in the story. He quotes no anonymous sources; he has known the Duke of Edinburgh for twenty five years and has interviewed him. This is a unique and revealing portrait of a remarkable partnership.

First Things

Each year a national figure is invited to give a lecture on a topic of burning contemporary importance. Cherie Booth writes about a Catholic perspective on human rights. Charles Moore, former editor of The Daily Telegraph writes about witnessing to the truth and personal courage in public life. George Weigel, best selling biographer of the present Pope discusses the free and virtuous society drawing on catholic social teaching, and the book concludes with a chapter by Gyles Brandreth on reinventing childhood. The topics are varied but the underlying theme is the dignity of the individual.

Gyles Brandreth, who spent many hours with Prince Philip in both formal and informal interviews, presents a unique portrait of his son, Charles, Prince of Wales, and of the one ‘non negotiable’ love of his life, Camilla Shand, now Duchess of Cornwall. What are Charles and Camilla really like? What is their heritage? What has made them the way they are? This is both a revealing portrait of two unusual individuals and a family saga like no other, told with unrivaled authority, insight, and humor, by a bestselling writer who has met all the key characters in the drama, including Charles, Camilla, and Diana, their children, families, and friends.
