About DYNASTY: The Royal Family’s Most Difficult Year

Unimaginable secrets. Unyielding power. Devastating rifts and shocking allegiances. With surprising new interviews as well as historic sound, Vanity Fair’s DYNASTY examines the ties that bind the one of the most influential families in the world today, taking you inside their lives for a glimpse at the inner workings of privilege. DYNASTY goes deep on the modern Windsors with Vanity Fair’s royal correspondent Katie Nicholl and staff writer Erin Vanderhoof, who reexamine the complex, sometimes fiery family dynamics—from the intimate side of the queen’s early reign to Harry and Meghan’s royal split to Prince Andrew’s shameful scandal to the reign of King Charles—with razor-sharp insights, fresh reportage, and exclusive guests.
