The Secret Royals: Spying and the Crown, From Victoria to Diana with Richard Aldrich & Rory Cormac

As part of our events series celebrating the Jubilee, hear from three of the foremost royal commentators. The Secret Royals shares the previously-unexplored relationship between the royal family and the British intelligence community – one that began with a foiled attempt to assassinate Queen Victoria and spans the Russian revolution, the abdication of Edward VII – all the way to Princess Diana and beyond.

In a conversation chaired by former BBC Royal Correspondent Jennie Bond, the book’s authors, Richard Aldrich and Rory Cormac, will highlight original research and new evidence, taking us behind the curtain to a hidden world where the monarchy still calls the shots regarding the country’s Secret Service.
