The renowned biographer, Andrew Lownie, will be in Alderney for the launch of his updated (paperback) book 'Entitled: the rise and fall of the House of York'.

 

'Entitled' is the first joint biography of the now former Duke and Duchess, revealing how their lives are still deeply entwined. Drawing on four years of research, numerous Freedon-of-Information requests and interviews with over a hundred people who have never spoken before, biographer Andrew Lownie 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. 

 

Beyond being simply a rigorously researched biography, his book is "a study in reputational collapse and the danger of unchecked power inside Britain's most protected institution" (The Standard).

​

Andrew Lownie is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. He is President of the Biographers Club, sits on the board of Biographers International Organisation, and is a Trustee of the Campaign for Freedom of Information. He will be in conversation with BBC broadcaster, podcaster, and event host Jo Durant, a familiar face at literature, history, and science festivals. 

​

​His new and expanded paperback will be available to purchase at the event.
