Today, as ever, a carefully selected team of people hidden from view steers the royal family's path between public duty and private life. Queen Elizabeth II, after a remarkable 70 years of service, saw the final seasons of her reign without her husband Philip to guide her. Now, a newly ascended Charles seeks to define what his future as King, and that of his court, will be.

But it alleges that aides came to believe that Meghan's departure was premeditated and that 'one of [her] concerns was whether she was going to be able to make money for herself'. Courtiers revisits incidents from the first years of the last reign, including Princess Margaret’s relationship with Group Captain Peter Townsend, and ends with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s tour of the Caribbean this spring. Much here is familiar, though there are tantalising unattributed snippets from private interviews, including a piquant description of the King’s last private secretary as Prince of Wales, Sir Clive Alderton, as “a schemer, a chess player... a figure from Wolf Hall or House of Cards”. Low’s conclusion is a valuable one: “Courtiers at their worst can fan the flames of family dissent… They can also be the voice of conservatism, which… can be a good thing.”
