The Royal Mint, National Debt
Join Norman Baker and Graham Smith as they talk about Norman's new book, Royal Mint, National Debt: More Things The Royals Don't Want You to Know. This is a live event and part of the ongoing series Beyond The Royal Headlines. Come and join the debate and ask Norman and Graham all you ever wanted to ask about the royals, monarchy and where they get their money.
In his irreverent and uncompromising bestselling … And What Do You Do? former Minister of State and Privy Counsellor Norman Baker laid bare what the British royal family didn’t want us to know, namely its extravagant use of public money and general bad behaviour.
This glorious sequel goes even deeper in its analysis of royal finances, examining where the money comes from, how it is used and what has changed with the arrival of a new King and a new Prince of Wales.
Norman's new book will soon be available from Republic's book shop and is set for publication in October. His previous book ...And What Do You Do? is available from Republic and all good retailers.
