Written by two people closely associated with Diana—Inspector Ken Wharfe was the Princess's police protection officer for six years during the most turbulent period of her marriage to Prince Charles and Ros Coward was chosen as author of the official book by the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Trust—this book is both an examination of the people and events of the time, and an elegiac tribute to one of the most iconic figures of the late twentieth century.

Henrietta Maria is the most reviled consort to have worn the crown of Britain's Three Kingdoms. Condemned as that 'Popish brat of France', a 'notorious whore' and traitor, she remains in popular memory the wife who wore the breeches and turned her husband Catholic—so causing a civil war—and a cruel and bigoted mother. Leanda de Lisle's White King was hailed as 'the definitive modern biography about Charles I' (Observer). Here she considers Henrietta Maria's point of view, unpicking the myths to reveal a very different queen.

But nothing has been said of their complicated relationship: 30 years of friendship, competition and conflict that changed the face of Europe.
