COURTIERS - VALENTINE LOW TASCHENBUCH

The gripping account of how the Royal family really operates from the man who has spent years
watching them in public and behind the scenes as Royal correspondent for The Times. Valentine
Low asks the important questions: who really runs the show and  with Charles now crowned as
King  what will happen next? Today  as ever  a vast team of people hidden from view steers the
royal family's path between public duty and private life. The late Queen Elizabeth II  after a
remarkable 70 years of service  lived the final year of her reign without her husband Philip to
guide her. Now  after years in which he wielded ever greater influence as he prepared for his
role as King  newly acceded Charles seeks to define what his future as sovereign will be. The
question of who is entrusted to guide the royals has never been more vital  and yet the task
those courtiers face has never been more challenging. With a cloud hanging over Prince Andrew
as well as Harry and Meghan's departure from royal life  the complex relationship between
modern courtiers and royal principals has been exposed to global scrutiny. William and Kate -
equipped with a very 21st century approach to press and public relations - now hold the
responsibility of making an ancient institution relevant for the decades to come. Courtiers
reveals an ever-changing web of complex characters  shifting values and ideas over what the
future of the institution should be. This is the story of how the monarchy really works  at a
pivotal moment in its history.
