Newly declassified wartime files reveal MI5 once feared Nazi paratroopers could attempt to assassinate King George the Sixth, the young Princess Elizabeth and Winston Churchill during the final months of World War Two. We also examine fresh reports that King Charles is quietly trying to repair the relationship between William and Harry through one of his closest aides, Theo Rycroft. Plus, the King’s environmentalism turns up in an unexpected place, the hidden history of the Crown Jewels, plans to renovate a long-abandoned Windsor cottage near Frogmore, and the discovery of a four-hundred-year-old tennis court map tied to Henry the Eighth and Windsor Castle.
