They are the most famous family in the world. Their life has been described in countless books and articles. Screaming headlines inform the world about every step they take. And yet, all attempts to get past the royal facade have failed. Only Kitty Kelly, the celebrated biographer of Nancy Reagan, Frank Sinatra, and many other celebrities, managed to enter the walls of the palace. Kitty Kelly is the most fearless biographer of our time. She spent four years studying the history of the royal family. In addition to careful research of documents, she conducted hundreds of exclusive interviews with former and current staff of the royal household, friends and relatives of the Windsor family, members of parliament, and other people who had the opportunity to observe the royal family closely. She lifted the curtain on the life of the most secretive family in history.
Kitty Kelly (born April 4, 1942) is an American journalist and the author of popular unauthorized biographies of celebrities and politicians. Her sharp pen has covered Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, the British royal family, the Bush family, and Oprah Winfrey. Kelly’s last five books topped the New York Times bestseller list, including her most recent book “Oprah: A Biography.” Kelly is called “a consummate gossipmonger, a machine for gossip and all kinds of insinuations that envelop her celebrated characters,” but she insists that she is “a calm advocate of transparency and publicity and believes in the freedom guaranteed by the First Amendment,” and that in the end her books “move the idol from the moonlight into bright sunlight.”
