Royal author and broadcaster Victoria Arbiter joins us this week for an extraordinary episode of Palace Authorised.

Discussing her new book Queen Elizabeth II: An Icon of Modern Monarchy, Victoria reveals why she is 'glad' the late monarch is not around to see the downfall of her son Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

She also questions the assumption that Andrew was the Queen's favourite child.

Also on this episode, Victoria dissects Elizabeth and Philip's 73 year long relationship - from their 'controversial' engagement to the third that accompanied them on their honeymoon.

AND what was 'the most memorable night' of Elizabeth's life?

PLUS Victoria gives us an insight into what it was like for her growing up inside Kensington Palace.
