About this listen
Philippa Langley took the world by storm when, against all the odds and a seven-year investigation, she discovered the grave of King Richard III (1452-1485) in a Leicester car park. A king finally laid to rest, the rediscovery and reburial of Richard III was watched by an estimated global audience of over 366 million. Now, Langley reveals the findings of a remarkable new research initiative: ‘The Missing Princes Project'. In the summer of 1483, Edward V (aged 12) and his brother Richard Duke of York (aged 9), disappeared from the Tower of London. For over 500 years, history has judged that they were murdered on the orders of their uncle Richard III. Following years of intensive research in UK, American and European archives, astonishing new archival discoveries have been uncovered that change what we know about the fate of the Princes in the Tower. Established by Langley in 2016, ‘The Missing Princes Project' employed the methods of a cold-case police enquiry. Using investigative methodology, it aimed to place this most enduring of mysteries under a forensic microscope for the first time. In The Princes in the Tower: Solving History's Greatest Cold Case, Langley records the painstaking investigative work and research of the project. By questioning received wisdom, she and her team shed light upon one of history's greatest miscarriages of justice, revealing a phenomenal untold story.

Whilst possessing many gifts, the Author needs to relinquish ownership of her written words and let a professional Orator give them the voice that they deserve. A gifted Researcher is not necessarily a gifted presenter,
storytelling is an art...

She often sounds like she's forgotten where she is on the page, and thinks the middle of the sentence is the end.
Maybe I'll pick up a copy from the library to read as I watched the documentary on C4 and listened to the Gone Medieval podcast about the Princes, but unless this is rerecorded with a more experienced narrator, I cannot listen again.
