What to expect
THE SUNDAY TIMES #1 BESTSELLER
A Book of the Year in The Times and Financial Times
‘The biographer who brought down Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’ THE OBSERVER
‘This isn’t a book; it’s a case for revolution’ SUNDAY TIMES
'Undoubtedly the most important book of the last year, if not the century' MAIL ON SUNDAY
‘This book has changed the way its readers think. Possibly the most important book that touches on the British monarchy since the days of Thomas Payne’ WILL LLOYD
‘As represented in the book’s pages, the royal family, with its appendages and penumbra, can be seen as an impossible entity, toxic to those in it and attached to it, and subtly contaminating the rest of us.’ DAVID AARONOVICH
‘Surely has a claim to the title of book of the year, for its seismic impact’ FINANCIAL TIMES
Drawing on four years of research, numerous FOI requests and interviews with over a hundred people who have never spoken out before, the book traces the lives of the late Queen’s second son and his ex-wife through their childhoods, courtship, marriage, divorce, careers, and royal and charitable activities.
Having still lived together until their departure from Royal Lodge in 2025, they claimed to be "the happiest divorced couple in the world". The book investigates the reality of their relationship and their love lives. It charts Andrew’s record in the Falklands, his business activities and reveals details of how the couple have been able financially to sustain their extravagant lifestyles. It also recounts the full story of their links with Jeffrey Epstein.
Chronicling their lives in parallel, the picture that emerges is of a spoilt former prince unable to connect and a former duchess pushed by her insecurities into a desperate need to maintain the attention her ‘royal’ status brought. Rigorously researched and packed full of revelations, this is eye-watering biography at its best.
‘This isn't just a royal biography. It's a study in reputational collapse and the danger of unchecked power inside Britain's most protected institution' THE STANDARD
‘A catalyst for Andrew’s de-princing’ THE TIMES
Critics Review
-
‘The book doesn’t raise eyebrows so much as leave them in a state of elevated paralysis. On almost every page of more than 400, there is at least one shocking revelation' OBSERVER
-
‘Those who think Andrew has been hounded by a vengeful mob, and that it’s all gone too far, should read Lownie’s book and then wonder why it didn’t go further and faster' JANICE TURNER, THE TIMES
-
‘This isn't just a royal biography. It's a study in reputational collapse and the danger of unchecked power inside Britain's most protected institution' THE STANDARD
-
‘Explosive … Makes Prince Harry’s Spare look positively restrained’ SUNDAY TIMES

‘The most devastating royal biography ever written’ DAILY MAIL
-
'Less a biographer than a mortician, he has delivered a 456-page obituary for the Duke and Duchess of York. It may also prove to be the first line of an obituary for the monarchy itself' NEW STATESMAN
-
'This searing biography of Prince Andrew crackles with scandals about sex and money on almost every page. The author's best-selling biographies have a habit of changing the reputation of famous figures… Although in the case of Entitled, he hasn't so much cemented Prince Andrew's reputation, as put it in concrete boots and thrown it in the river. It is hard to see how he might come back from this' BBC NEWS
-
‘Devastating … this is more than just a hit job on the duke. By examining Andrew’s taxpayer-funded role as the UK’s “special representative” for trade and investment, the author takes aim at an “Establishment cover-up”' THE TIMES
-
‘Indispensable’ THE NEW YORKER
-
'A jaw-dropping account of arrogance, financial incontinence, greed and, indeed, entitlement' DAILY EXPRESS
-
'In the latest devastating biography by Andrew Lownie, which – in any rational scheme of things – should surely drive the final nail into the woodwormed remnants of his reputation' THE INDEPENDENT
-
'Among the most lurid, marmalade-dropping outlandish books published about a senior royal’ SUNDAY TIMES

Glad to hear the truth behind these despicable human beings, what a disgrace to the royal family and indeed the United Kingdom, they should be held accountable for their crimes and debts and put in prison if they cannot pay back the taxpayers for their extreme expenditure.

5.0 2.0
The content of this book is comprehensive, explosive & thoroughly disgusting. Neither Andrew nor Sarah should ever hold public positions again. They are a disgrace.
Unfortunately, while Mr Lownie has done a terrific job writing the book, he's just not the greatest reader. He takes breaths in odd places, chooses incorrect places to emphasise in some sentences & isn't great at the skill of making quotation marks audible, so sometimes it's not obvious when something *is* a quote. This book could do with a re-read by an experienced practitioner, because the content really does deserve the widest audience.AliceMerray 2025-11-08 -

A clearly well researched book, full of facts and figures, or as much as the author was allowed. As for the subjects, well, were asked to be respectful in reviewing, so enough said.
