An evening with Andrew Morton

Join bestselling biographer Andrew Morton, as we celebrate the publication of his latest book Winston and the Windsors: How Churchill Shaped a Royal Dynasty.

Churchill was unique in his role, helping to shape not a single monarch but an entire royal dynasty. In turn, the Windsors helped shape his career and his legacy.

At times, Churchill was treated with suspicion and contempt, at others as a trusted confidante. Bookended by the paternal advice of Edward VII and an enduring fondness for young Elizabeth II, Andrew Morton paints a picture of divided loyalties during the abdication crisis and how wartime led to a growing and fruitful partnership with George VI.

An intimate dual biography drawing on much under-appreciated material such as diary entries, postcards and letters, revealing the ups and downs of Winston Churchill’s close relationship with the kings, queens and princes of the House of Windsor.
