Andrew Lownie
Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York
10am – 11am
Packed full of extraordinary revelations, Entitled is the first
joint biography of the Duke and Duchess of York, revealing
how their lives are still deeply entwined. 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.
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.
Andrew Lownie is President of the Biographers’ Club and is a Trustee of the Campaign for Freedom of Information and since 1988 has run his own literary agency. His recent books The Mountbattens and Traitor King were Sunday Times bestsellers.
