About this listen

In Shadows in the Monarchy: Royal Scandals and Murder Plots, acclaimed author Lee Brickley embarks on a captivating journey through history, uncovering the layers of secrecy and scandal that have shrouded the British monarchy. The intricate web of deceit—reaching from the ties between Prince Andrew and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein to the unsettling rumors around Queen Victoria's grandson and the infamous Jack the Ripper—paints a chilling tableau of power and its corrosive effects.

In each meticulously researched chapter, Brickley offers a new perspective on events that have shaped the course of history, yet remained shrouded in mystery and speculation. Unearth the bloody truth behind the 12th-century War of Succession, decipher the enigma of the Princes in the Tower, and navigate the treacherous terrains of political and religious conflicts that led to the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots.

Witness the brutal exertion of power by King Henry VIII, uncover the madness of King George III, and explore the labyrinth of lies that characterized the Victorian Era. Journey through time as this book chronicles the series of scandals that redefined the monarchy, from Edward VII's involvement in the baccarat scandal to the shocking assassination of Lord Mountbatten and the tragic end of Princess Diana.

And in the modern era, delve into the circumstances that led to Megxit and the continual evolution of the monarchy amidst relentless media scrutiny.

Shadows in the Monarchy: Royal Scandals and Murder Plots is a compelling saga that intertwines narrative storytelling with historical analysis, revealing a monarchy perpetually haunted by its past and navigating an uncertain future. This book is a must-listen for history enthusiasts, royal watchers, and anyone fascinated by the complex machinery of power and privilege.
