Wallis, Diana and Meghan: Three Wives, One Grave Narrative


Wallis Simpson, Diana Spencer and Meghan Markle all married into-and promptly challenged-the British royal family. In Unroyal, veteran New York Times culture reporter and Royals correspondent Sarah Lyall revisits the trio's attempts to modernize the world's most famous monarchy over the course of the last century.


Through the lens of media coverage (three incendiary bombshell TV interviews, in particular), Lyall's singular point of view, and fresh interviews with other renowned subject experts (including bestselling author Tina Brown, journalist Tanya Gold, author and broadcaster Afua Hirsch, Princess Diana biographer Andrew Morton, and more) this book pieces together the uncanny similarities of these women's experiences and shines a light on the harsh truths that lie at society's most fraught intersection: power, fame, and family politics.


Unroyal blends the probing inquisition of You're Wrong About with the historical intrigue of The Crown to serve both neophytes and obsessives a delectable royal feast.
