The Queen suffered post-natal side effects after giving birth to Andrew having used the now discredited Dammerschlaf technique for the delivery of her first three children, a new book claims.

But it has also given a rare insight into the details over the births of her children which are normally kept private, with the book by Gyles Brandreth giving some surprise information about the deliveries.
