The #1 NYT bestselling author discusses & signs his revelatory new book, Winston and the Windsors: How Churchill Shaped a Royal Dynasty
About this Event

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Queen and Diana, a groundbreaking story of the riveting hot-and-cold relationship between the House of Windsor and Winston Churchill.

From an early age, Winston Churchill was convinced that he was a man of destiny. Today, it seems his premonition was correct; few figures in British history have been so deeply and consequently involved with the British family as Churchill. While many people in positions of power have advised kings and queens during their reign, Churchill is unique in his role: helping to shape not only a reign, but an entire royal dynasty.

In Winston and the Windsors, one of the world’s best-known biographers and a leading authority on celebrity Andrew Morton presents a meticulously researched joint biography of Winston Churchill and the House of Windsor. Throughout the course of his career and life, Churchill’s relationship with the Windsor’s fluctuated wildly. At times, he was the royal family’s trusted confidante. At others, he was their leading antagonist. In exploring the complex relationship between the two, Morton argues that – whether the attitudes of the royal family were warm or icy towards Churchill – their relationship is central to the twentieth-century history of the British monarchy.

From the Churchill family’s complex relationship with the crown; to Winston’s initially begrudging but ultimately fruitful partnership with George VI; to his enduring fondness for Queen Elizabeth II, this fascinating narrative biography sheds a new light on the ways the crown not only shaped Winston Churchill's career – but the ways in which Churchill shepherded the monarchy into the modern era.
