Hugo Vickers
Duke of Sussex: A Changed Man
If the Palace thought that 2023 would be a quieter year after the drama and tragedy of 2022 then the release of Prince Harry’s autobiography Spare has just about destroyed all hope. The book has caused international frenzy amongst the media and the public. Opinion was more divided than ever on whether Prince Harry should retain his royal titles. Though Harry and Meghan fled the royal family for a second chance at the private life they always wanted, the world refused to let them go quietly. Despite their escape, the media’s continued attention cased a barrage of headlines, flaring up rumour after scandalous rumour about the couple and the royal family. In order to set the record straight, they decided to tell their own side of the story, giving a tell-all series of interviews, podcasts and Netflix documentary series. But eclipsing all of the revelations shared previously, in January 2023 Harry released his controversial and much-anticipated autobiography, Spare.
Queen Camilla: Defiant
Her Majesty, Queen Camilla has faced a journey unparalleled in British history. From being the much-maligned ‘other woman’, caught in the heat of scandal, to a loved and accepted Queen consort. Over the years, Camilla has faced a savage attack from the tabloids as the world sided with Diana, Princess of Wales, in a troublesome series of media exposés. But against all odds, she finally emerged as the wife, companion and Queen to King Charles III. Charles declared that Camilla was a non-negotiable part of his life. So, against the advice and approval of the royal courtiers, they began the relationship that, in time, the world would come to accept.

Remembering Prince Philip
Prince Philip's death proved to end an era for the Royal Family. He had been at the Queen's side for 73 years and served most of them as her consort - assisting her in her duties. But he also had a remarkable life of his own and was a Royal Navy hero thanks to his brave actions in the Second World War and set up the pioneering Duke of Edinburgh's Award. He was also a patron, president and member of more than 700 organisations and had a passion for the natural world, engineering and technology. These aspects of his life were celebrated at his memorial service at Westminster Abbey, which nearly all his family members attended. And as the years go on, the memory of Prince Philip remains strong; it seems several family members are keen to keep his memory and legacy alive…
