THE SUNDAY TIMES #1 BESTSELLER
A Book of the Year for The Times, Financial Times and Waterstones
‘This isn’t a book; it’s a case for revolution’ CAMILLA LONG, SUNDAY TIMES
‘A damning cannonball of truth through the York ramparts’ MAIL ON SUNDAY
‘Surely has a claim to the title of book of the year, for its seismic impact’ JANINE GIBSON, FINANCIAL TIMES
The first joint biography of the Duke and Duchess of York and the first full biography of either of them, by renowned royal biographer and literary agent, Andrew Lownie.
Drawing on four years of research, numerous FOI requests and interviews with over a hundred people who have never spoken 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.
Still living in the same house, they claim 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 the Yorks’ links with Jeffrey Epstein.
Chronicling their lives in parallel, the picture that emerges is of a spoilt prince unable to connect and a 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

‘The most damning royal takedown since Spare paints Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson as venal, grifting and obsessed by sex' 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
'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
