Can the monarchy survive? Drawing on exclusive inside access, Tina Brown joins us with the riveting inside story of the Royal Family from Diana’s death to the present.

In her New York Times bestselling biography of Princess Diana, The Diana Chronicles, former Vanity Fair and New Yorker editor Tina Brown wrote the definitive account of the extraordinary life and tragic death of the Princess of Wales. Now she joins Pandora Sykes live on stage to reveal how the royal family reinvented itself after the traumatic years when Diana’s blazing celebrity ripped through the House of Windsor like a comet.

‘Never again’, became Queen Elizabeth II’s mantra shortly after Diana’s death. More specifically, there could never be ‘another Diana’ – a member of the family whose global popularity upstaged, outshone, and posed an existential threat to the British monarchy.

Tina will take us on a tour de force journey, showing the Queen’s stoic resolve as she coped with the passing of Princess Margaret, the Queen Mother and her partner for seven decades, Prince Philip, and the triumph of her Jubilee years even as the family dramas raged around her.

She will explore Prince Charles’s determination to make Camilla his wife, the tension between William and Harry who are on ‘different paths’, the ascendance Kate Middleton, the disturbing allegations surrounding Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein, and Harry and Meghan’s stunning decision to ‘step back’ as senior royals. Despite the fragile monarchy’s best efforts, ‘never again’ seems fast approaching.

Tina says: “This is, above all, the survival story of a family in which the pre-eminence of duty is in constant tension with the very human desires of love, ambition and the longing for escape.”

Full of powerful revelations, nuanced details and searing insight, this In Conversation event with one of the world’s most distinguished journalists will irrevocably our perceptions and understanding of the Royal Family.
