The quarrel "of Olympic proportions" between William and Harry even before Meghan entered the scene;
Jeffrey Epstein who said of Prince Andrew that he was "a useful idiot", only good at attracting VIPs to events;
the wedding charade of Carlo and Camilla and a marriage that at the last risk 'of jumping.
And the future king of the British who, when he travels, brings with him his orthopedic bed, toilet seat and a special type of extra soft toilet paper: Kleenex Velvet.
For those interested in the gossip of the Royal Family, this and much more emerges from "The Palace Papers", Tina Brown's latest monumental work in the bookstore.
Fifteen years after having recounted the life, death and miracles of Lady Diana in the bestseller "Diana Chronicles", the former director of 'Tatler' at just 25 years old, then 'Vanity Fair' and the 'New Yorker', is back in almost 600 pages on the 'place of the crime' to tell in great detail the saga of the last quarter of a century of the Windsor family.
