Game of Crowns
Game of Crowns: Elizabeth, Camilla, Kate, and the Throne | Christopher Andersen
9 posts | 11 read | 11 to read
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of William and Kate and The Day Diana Died takes a compulsively readable look into the relationships and rivalries of Queen Elizabeth, Camilla Parker Bowles, and Kate Middleton. One has been famous longer than anyone on the planeta wily stateswoman and an enduring symbol of a fading institution. One is the great-granddaughter of a kings mistress and a celebrated homewrecker who survived a firestorm of scorn to marry her lover and replace her arch rival, a beloved twentieth-century figure. One is a beautiful commoner, the university-educated daughter of a self-made entrepreneur, a fashion idol, and wife and mother to two future kings. Master biographer Christopher Andersen takes readers behind palace walls to examine the surprising similarities and stark differences among three remarkable womenQueen Elizabeth; Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall; and Princess Kate. Andersen reveals what transpires within the royal family away from the public's prying eyes; how the women actually feel about each other; how they differ as lovers, wives, and mothers; and how they are reshaping the landscape of the monarchy in this addictive read that will shock even those who are spellbound by the royal palace.

Hmm. I found this to be fascinating. It has a lot of errors. Soo, I don‘t know how much is true. But I do think that I learned more than I knew going in. Everyone seems the way I think they are. But is that just a case of confirmation bias? Only thing I can say for sure: it‘s a fast and fun read. Readers are split on this one and so am I! Because of the known inaccuracies I have to give it a so - so though.

I loved this book! I learned a lot I didn‘t know about the royal family in a fun and sometimes funny way.

This audiobook was good but not great. It felt at times like I was listening to a gossip paper. I felt alternatively sorry for and angry at the Royals. Having never really read anything but the glowing reports, I was somewhat shocked to hear of how the Royals acted at times. Nevertheless, I still find myself fascinated by the House of Windsor. Three to three and a half stars.

I started listening to this today. I admit to a more than passing interest in the British Royal Family. This seems to be an interesting look into what could happen when the Queen passes and how the different royals are being groomed and prepared for that sad day.
