Penny Junor

    6. Oktober 1949

    Diese Autorin hat sich auf detaillierte und aufschlussreiche Porträts der britischen Königsfamilie spezialisiert. Ihre Arbeit zeichnet sich durch ein tiefes Interesse an der Psychologie ihrer Subjekte und der Dynamik von Machtstrukturen aus. Durch sorgfältige Recherche deckt sie die menschliche Seite hinter öffentlichen Fassaden auf und untersucht oft die Komplexität von Beziehungen und die persönlichen Opfer, die mit dem öffentlichen Leben einhergehen. Ihr Stil ist analytisch und doch zugänglich, was den Lesern einen intimen Einblick in das Leben von Persönlichkeiten gewährt, die die Geschichte prägen.

      "Few know the Windsor family as well as veteran royal biographer and journalist Penny Junor. In The Duchess, she casts her insightful, sensitive eye on the intriguing, once widely despised, and little-known Camilla Parker Bowles, revealing in full, for the first time, the remarkable rise of a woman who was the most notorious mistress in the world, famously blamed by Diana for wrecking her marriage to Charles. In marrying the Prince of Wales in 2005, this hitherto private and self-effacing mother of two became the second most senior female member of the British Royal Family. She made the prince laugh again; made him a happier, more confident man, who with her by his side, will go on to be a successful and popular king. But in so doing she also made sacrifices. She gave up the freedom she had always taken for granted. She signed up to a future of public engagements, ceremonies, receptions, overseas tours, and charitable work that would exhaust women half her age. Junor argues that although Camilla played a central role in the darkest days of the modern monarchy--Charles and Diana's acrimonious and scandalous split--she will one day be seen as the woman who shored up the British monarchy. A woman with no ambition to be a princess, a duchess, or a queen, Camilla simply wanted to be with, and support, the man who has always been the love of her life. Junor contends that their marriage has allowed Charles finally to become comfortable as the heir to the British throne."--Page 4 of cover
