As we head into the second month of The Crown in Crisis’s release, the coverage keeps on coming, and I’m delighted by it all. I recently had the chance to chat to the Mirror’s excellent Pod Save The Queen podcast about the abdication, Meghan and Harry and all things royal-related, and you can have a listen to it here.

I was delighted that the book was included in the September edition of BBC History Magazine, and the author and critic Nigel Jones wrote  ‘Alexander Larman has done a thoroughly researched job in retelling this oft-told tale and has made some fresh discoveries that shed new light on the affair.’ There was also a short but sweet mini-review in the Independent, which described the book as ‘an engaging, detailed, and suspenseful read; one that is equal parts empathetic and entertaining’, and ended by promising ‘You will be gripped.’ I sincerely hope so.
