      "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, twenty years later, Queen Elizabeth II is in her mid-nineties, Prince Charles is in his seventies, and all eyes are turned increasingly toward William and Harry again. 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 divorcâee. 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."--

      Like many parents and children, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and JFK Jr. shared an intense, tender, and often tempestuous bond. It was, quite simply, the most important relationship in John's life. With riveting insight, Andersen reveals how mother and son influenced, challenged, and supported each other through good times and bad, unveiling startling new details about a family we thought we already knew: John's reaction to his mother's bout with suicidal depression and growing dependence on prescription drugs; the surreal and ultimately catastrophic impact of the Onassis years; the premonitions that terrified Jackie about John's fate; Jackie's success at keeping John away from his hellraising cousins, and his complicated relationship with the rest of the clan; the power she wielded over his affairs with Madonna, Sarah Jessica Parker, Daryl Hannah, and others; how John privately handled the scandalous revelations about his parents' marriage; the secrets about John's own turbulent marriage and his senseless death. Bittersweet, provocative, thoughtful and inspiring, this is the often heartbreaking tale of two lives tested by history and tragedy.--From publisher description.

      Už od začátku jim bylo souzeno stát se jedním z nejoslavovanějších manželských párů dvacátého prvního století. On, šarmantní princ, který jednou usedne na anglický trůn, a ona, krásná neurozená dívka, která si získala jeho srdce. William a Kate překonali mnohá úskalí a skandály, aby si vybudovali pohádkovou lásku. Po téměř deseti letech dokázali udržet svůj vztah v tajnosti. Žurnalista Christopher Andersen nyní odhaluje detaily jejich tajného svazku a přináší fascinující pohled na muže a ženu, kteří se stanou králem a královnou. Popisuje Williamův život jako důvěrníka a rádce, jeho snahu udržet vztah s Kate v tajnosti od jejich setkání na vysoké škole, a milostné pletky, které ho provázely. Odhaluje, kdo stál za jejich rozchodem a jak Kate prince získala zpět. Zmiňuje skandály v rodině Kate a vliv Williamových přátel na jejich vztah. Přináší nové informace o hrozbách, které prince a princeznu ohrožovaly, a o tom, jak unikli Dianině osudu.
