Entitled
The Rise and Fall of the House of York‘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 ‘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

Wilson, TLS'Meticulously researched' - Spectator'Entertaining... convincing... timely. Urgent reading for royals' - Evening StandardDecember 1936. The King of England, Edward VIII, has given up his Crown, foregoing his duty for the love of Wallis Simpson, an American divorcée. Their courtship has been dogged by controversy and scandal, but with Edward's abdication, they can live happily ever after. But do they?In Traitor King, bestselling historian Andrew Lownie draws on hitherto unexplored archives to uncover the dramatic world of the Windsors post-abdication. Lownie reveals a couple obsessed with their status, financially exploiting their position and manipulating the media. Filled with treachery and betrayal, this is a story of an exiled Royal and the Nazi attempts to recruit him to their cause. And of why the Royal family never forgave the Duke for choosing love over duty.
