In August of 1992, British newspapers published photos that shook the very foundation of the monarchy. The pictures revealed the Duchess of York enjoying a clandestine affair in St. Tropez with American Johnny Bryan - and the public who had been surprised by Sarah's groundbreaking separation was now stunned by the shocking new evidence of her dissatisfaction with her life as a royal. What behind-the-scenes events could possibly have driven the Duchess to rebel as drastically as she did? Chris Hutchins's and Peter Thompson's years of royal watching - with special attention to the Duchess - have culminated in this explosive account of the events preceding and during Sarah's fall from royal favor. Never before has the energetic, determined Duchess been revealed in such honest detail - from the plain, outdoorsy girl who liked to have a good time, to the bride who bested the odds to marry into a royal circle that promptly shut her out. This mesmerizing book offers not only the first candid view of Sarah herself, but also an astonishing look at what really goes on in the lives of today's young royals.

Diana's Nightmare: The Family

Even before Lady Diana Spencer married into the most revered family on earth, she had her suspicions that the kith and kin of Prince Charles were not all they seemed-to-be. No sooner had she become the Princess of Wales and moved into Kensington Palace than her fears were confirmed: the House of Windsor constituted a flawed dynasty. She found herself trapped in a world of scandal, deceit and treachery. Diana’s Nightmare reveals the previously untold secrets Diana discovered about her royal relatives. This book exposes how intensely Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles contrived to exclude her, it reveals the Queen was angry and bitter at her family’s indiscretions, how the Queen Mother’s indifference was matched only by Prince Philip’s blind range over Diana’s determination to find her own path, what really went on between the Duke and Duchess of York and how Prince Edward witnessed Diana’s tantrums at Balmoral . . . Diana’s own secret life. “Filled with new insights into the troubled life of the beautiful Princess. I remained riveted to the end.” - DOMINICK DUNNE

FERGIE CONFIDENTIAL The Real story IT SEEMS that almost every week Sarah Ferguson - the Duchess of York, known to one and all as Fergie - makes headlines with her efforts to re-brand herself and explain her troubles. There are the weight-loss problems, the ongoing differences with the Royal Family and her financial difficulties. But how did it all start? It seemed like a fairy-tale come true when Sarah married the Queen's favourite son, Prince Andrew, and became one of the best-known women in the world. She was feted wherever she went - and she went everywhere. But the Duchess's world was to come crashing down in spectacular fashion. We've all heard the rumours, now here's a book that sets out the facts about all the scandals. Finally, the explosive truth from two experts - CHRIS HUTCHINS, the journalist who broke the palace-rocking story of Fergie's risque liaison with handsome Texan Steve Wyatt, and PETER THOMPSON, a former editor of London's Daily Mirror, the paper that ran the sexy St. Tropez stories of Fergie and her "financial advisor" Johnny Bryan. The book also details her often-tempestuous relationship with Princess Diana and how both women decided to end their marriages. THE ANGUISH THAT TORE HER MARRIAGE APART...... "He comes home Friday, we have a row on Saturday and he goes back on Sunday" "The marriage was going badly and the arguments bordered on domestic violence." THE OTHER MEN IN HER LIFE WHO SHOCKED THE WORLD....... "Steve likes me in tight black denim." "He was kissing her...or positioned at her feet sucking on her toes." THE RELENTLESS PRESSURE SHE COULDN'T ESCAPE......... "Sarah seemed to feel she only had two options: escape or surrender." "She is fighting for her soul." PLUS, THE SECRET LIAISONS IN MOROCCO AND THE FRENCH RIVIERA...ANDREW'S FEELINGS FOR HIS FIRST LOVE, KOO STARK...THE TRUMP CARD FERGIE HOLDS...AND MUCH MORE!

THE postcard on the cover of this book says it all. The card was written by John Lennon and sent to his friend Chris Hutchins. On the card’s photograph of the Beatles, John had drawn a fifth member – the founder of the group Stuart Sutcliffe who John went on to describe as the best friend he ever had. This is the kind of confidence John, Paul George and Ringo shared with writer Hutchins who they befriended in their days as ‘unknowns’ in Hamburg. He shared their adventures during the heady days of Beatlemania; he was with them during their American tours in the 60s, sharing their euphoria and their sad moments. It was, for example, at Hutchins’ Chelsea apartment that Paul met the actress Jane Asher, who he later became engaged to. And it was Hutchins who arranged a party with Elvis Presley, the man they had always wanted to meet – alas, a meeting which was to cause a cataclysmic feud between Presley and Lennon which the author explains in detail along with how President Nixon and J Edgar Hoover got involved. This is the Beatles story from the inside . . .

PRINCE HARRY is the most interesting – indeed the most exciting - member of the Royal Family and this no-holds-barred biography tells his story for the first time. Son of the late Princess Diana – the most famous woman on Earth – and Prince Charles, the next king, and brother of William, the king after that, he is determined to live by his mantra: ‘I am what I am’. From a childhood overshadowed by his parents’ troubled marriage and scarred by the tragic death of his mother, to his brilliant public performances at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations, the London Olympics and his brother’s wedding, this book charts the remarkable journey of a young man with an extraordinary destiny. It also reveals details of his extraordinary love life, telling for the first time what caused his affair with Cressida Bonas to collapse. The author has enjoyed unparalleled access to a wide variety of people whose lives Harry has touched: senior aides, humble members of palace staff, aristocrats, bodyguards, school friends, comrades-in-arms . . . and old flames. They piece together the tale of a young man who admirably has created a life so different from the one set out for him by what he describes as ‘an accident of birth’.
