FEATURING A BRAND NEW CHAPTER ON KING CHARLES III AND HIS CORONATION

'Fascinating' The Times

'Tantalising' Telegraph

The gripping account of how the royal family really operates. Valentine Low, royal correspondent for The Times, asks

the important questions: who really runs the show and, with

Charles now crowned as King, what will happen next?

Today, as ever, a vast team of people hidden from view steers

the royal family's path between public duty and private life.

The question of who is entrusted to guide the royals has never been more vital, and yet the task those courtiers face

has never been more challenging.

With the departure of both Harry and Meghan and the

disgraced Prince Andrew from royal life, the complex relationship between modern courtiers and royal principals has been exposed

to global scrutiny. William and Kate - equipped with a very

twenty-first-century approach to press and public relations - now

hold the responsibility of making an ancient institution relevant for the decades to come.

Courtiers reveals an ever-changing web of complex characters, shifting values and ideas over what the future of the institution should be. This is the story of how the monarchy really works, at a pivotal moment in its history.

Reviews for Courtiers

Low's enjoyable account... chronicles, and explains, the role of those courtiers whose role comes closest to public accountability... [and] there are tantalising unattributed snippets from private interviews... Low's conclusion is a valuable one * The Telegraph * Fascinating * The Times *
