mistress in the 1970s and possibly 80s, Dale Harper, who was dropped by Charles for being too keen on him. Later she fell out of a window and was paralysed below the waist. When she “frantically pursued Charles in her wheelchair” at a polo match in 1997, he issued “a chilly statement saying they were no longer the friends they once were”.
Prince Andrew … Virginia Giuffre’s unpublished memoir offers further revelations on the scandal that surrounds him.Yet Brown doesn’t want her readers to hate the royals, which is always the problem with books about them. The royals, like celebrities, only matter as much as people believe they matter, and a book just about Andrew’s awfulness and Charles’s pettiness would be true, but would also make the reader question just why they are reading about this absurd, irrelevant family.
‘Brown’s writing becomes positively orgasmic when describing Kate’s alleged triumph in bagging William.’For those who haven’t encountered Brown’s writing before, The Palace Papers provides all the greatest hits.
