A brand new book which claims to reveal shocking insights about the Queen and the royal family is to hit shelves next week. Tina Brown's The Palace Papers has been two years in the making and features interviews and information from more than 120 insiders and sources.
The book covers everything from Prince Charles's unusual bathroom demands and requests that his shoelaces are ironed, to insights into the Duchess of Cambridge's difficult relationship with her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle. Ahead of its publication on May 3, extracts of the book have been published in The Daily Mail.
The Mirror's royal experts Zoe Forsey and Rebecca Fussell have explained some of the most shocking claims so far, and - in their words - "it's fair to say Brown doesn't hold back". They even go so far as to say that "it won't be pleasant reading for members of The Firm."
