Synopsis
The Dukes by Tom Sykes is the blockbuster inside story of how the betrayals of Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, combined with the alleged involvement in Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal sex ring of ex-Prince Andrew, formerly the Duke of York, and King Charles’ disastrous mishandling of these two crises has brought the monarchy to its lowest ebb since the abdication of Edward VIII, the man who became the Duke of Windsor.
Sykes lifts the lid on how the fraught personal relationship between the King and Prince William, the heir to the throne, has metastasized into a bitter institutional power struggle fueled by William’s apparent contempt for what he sees as the damage done to the institution by his father’s surrender to an unapologetic Harry and Meghan, his father’s failed attempt to rehabilitate Andrew, and his fear that his father is making the same mistake again with the York princesses, Beatrice and Eugenie.
The Dukes traces the path of royal destruction from Edward to Andrew to Harry, and examines how these embittered, resentful, regretful men, and their wives – Wallis, Sarah, and Meghan undermined the British monarchy, inflicting far more damage from the inside than any antimonarchy movement could have managed from the outside in its wildest dreams.
Tom Sykes’s The Dukes is the must-read book about the destruction of Britain’s royal family… from within…
