Now Kitty Kelley, the most fearless biographer of our time, has gone behind the palace walls to provide the first three-dimensional, comprehensive and even-handed portrait of the men and women who make up the British royal family today, along with their forebears and predecessors.

Here is also the hard work, dedication and ability to survive the most humiliating disclosures.
