Indulge your appetite for scandalous stories and tales of British royals past and present with our July/August issue, which won’t fail to pique your curiosity
Summer is upon us, the sun is making an appearance and attractions across Britain are reopening their doors once more. This issue, we’ve embraced our new-found freedoms with a scenic road trip over Argyll’s lochs and glens, castle-spotting along the way. We also enjoy a serene wander through Dorset’s prettiest – and curiously named – villages. You’ll certainly learn your Piddles from your Puddles.
Elsewhere, our features are linked by a royal theme. One of our favourites is an exclusive extract from a new biography, in which we look back at a special time in the life of the Queen and Prince Philip: their engagement in 1947.
