A Sion College Seminar Supper with Valentine Low: Power and the Palace

In Power and the Palace, being published in September2025, Valentine Low examines how the relationship between the sovereign and the political leadership of the nation has evolved over the past 200 years, particularly during the reign of Elizabeth II and moving into that of Charles III.

Drawing on extensive engagement and access as a journalist covering relations between Buckingham Palace and Downing Street, and on new research for this book, Valentine Low offers insights and revelations which transform our understanding of the relationship between the monarchy and the government as it continues to develop in a nation without a written constitution.
