The Four Wives of Windsor

Rivalries, Influence and the True Power Behind the Crown

From the heartbreak of Diana to the quiet strength of Camilla, from Meghan’s rebellion to Catherine’s composure, The Four Wives of Windsor brings together, for the first time, the four women who have changed the British monarchy forever.

Drawing on decades of reporting as one of British television’s most trusted royal correspondents and a long-standing member of the royal rota, Simon Vigar offers an insider’s portrait of the lives behind the palace gates. Through vivid storytelling and revealing new insights, Vigar explores how these four outsiders who married into “the Firm” navigated love, duty, and an unforgiving public spotlight.

With exclusive access and behind-the-scenes detail, The Four Wives of Windsor reveals how these women became the driving forces of change in an institution built on tradition and why their stories continue to captivate the world.
