From a renowned historian and royal expert, this book reads like an investigative narrative and a family chronicle in one. Robert Lacey — internationally respected for his biographies and as historical consultant on the award-winning Netflix series The Crown — offers a close, well-researched portrait of the rift between William and Harry. Drawing on decades of experience writing about Queen Elizabeth II and the monarchy, Lacey explores how upbringing, duty, and public life intersect to shape two princes whose paths diverged dramatically.

In clear, engaging prose, Battle of Brothers addresses key moments and personalities: the early closeness of William and Harry, the unraveling of Charles and Diana’s marriage, Prince Andrew and the burdens of proximity to the Crown, and the crucial decisions made by Queen Elizabeth II. The book also examines the roles of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle in influencing their husbands’ choices and reveals the context behind Harry and Meghan’s departure from senior royal duties.

• Readable narrative — Balances chronology and analysis for readers new to royal history or longtime followers of the children’s series of headlines surrounding the family.

This account is particularly useful for educators and discussion groups studying contemporary leadership, media influence, or modern monarchy. Use it as a centerpiece for debate on public duty versus private life, or as recommended reading in a history or media studies syllabus. It also makes an engaging present for book lovers looking for a featured nonfiction title from a bestselling author.

Balanced, authoritative, and emotionally resonant, Battle of Brothers is more than gossip — it’s a reasoned analysis by an award-winning historian who has followed the Queen’s reign for decades. Whether you want a definitive book collection entry on recent royal crises or a single, standout paperback that clarifies the human stories behind headlines, this volume delivers insight, context, and a deeper understanding of a family at the heart of a nation.
