Royal spares Prince Harry and Prince Andrew easily overshadow most news about the British monarchy. They seem so different, and yet... Liked as teenagers, drawn to the military and American actresses, privileged, bad boys as adolescents, both have proven to have a rare knack for turning their lives into dramatic instalments for the world to watch-as well as a major embarrassment to their family’s ruling members. Royal author Nigel Cawthorne unravels the princely duo in this entertaining double portrait and asks what growing up as a royal spare did for them? Join him on the inside of their regal track with many little known stories from inside the palace-and their latest travails of having to keep up regal appearances despite no longer being royal highnesses.
