Royal jewel heists tend to capture the world’s imagination—just look at the recent Louvre robbery. But as revealed in an excerpt from the forthcoming biography The Windsor Legacy, the British Royal Family experienced a theft of their own, one that’s been hidden from the public eye—"until now." In the book, veteran royal journalist Robert Jobson reveals that thieves ran off with some of Queen Camilla's jewels just three years ago, but the palace "buried" any news of the crime.
"It wasn't quite the heist of the century—but close," Jobson writes in a passage from the book serialized in the Daily Mail. "Incredibly, no one has breathed a word, until now, about how a daring thief managed to snaffle a bag of Queen Camilla's jewellery."
