Set against the backdrop of World War II, this volume explores the tumultuous relationships within the British royal family, particularly focusing on King George VI and his brother, the Duke of Windsor. As tensions rise with Hitler's expansionist ambitions, the monarchy faces internal strife and external threats, including spies infiltrating Buckingham Palace. The narrative reveals how this fractured family, amid personal betrayals and political challenges, ultimately found a way to unite in the face of a formidable adversary.
