The book's website gives details of my speaking engagements.

I’m pleased to announce my forthcoming book, The Mountbattens: Their Lives and Loves, which publishes on 22nd August and is available for pre-order now.
Drawing on over four years of research around the world, my new biography focuses on the glamorous couple behind the modern royal family.

A major figure behind his nephew Philip's marriage to Queen Elizabeth II and instrumental in the royal family taking the Mountbatten name, Dickie Mountbatten's career included being Supreme Allied Commander of South East Asia during World War Two and the last Viceroy of India. Once the richest woman in Britain and a playgirl who enjoyed numerous affairs, Edwina Mountbatten emerged from World War Two as a magnetic and talented charity worker loved around the world.
This book provides a nuanced portrayal of two very unusual people and their complex marriage.

From British high society and the South of France to the battlefields of Burma and the Viceroy's House, this is a rich and filmic story whose characters include all the key figures of the Second World War. From Churchill and Montgomery to Roosevelt and Eisenhower; the Royal Family, including the Duke of Windsor, George VI, the Queen, Prince Philip and Prince.

A timely piece as the 40th anniversary of Lord Mountbatten’s assassination by the IRA soon approaches.
