The mystery of the Princes in the Tower has been beguiling history fans for a very long time. Did they escape? Did they die? Were they the 'pretenders' that Henry Tudor had to defeat? Did Uncle Richard have anything to do with their disappearance? Why was their aunt Margaret of Burgundy preparing for an invasion to England after the Battle of Bosworth?
Eleven years after finding Richard III's skeleton, Philippa Langley sheds light on what could have happened to the young sons of Edward IV.
Gemma and Natalie exchange opinions on the results of this investigation of the 'history's coldest case'.
One thing is clear: the princes are definitely wanted, dead or alive.
Here's a link to Philippa Langley's latest book on the Princes, published by The History Press: https://www.thehistorypress.co.uk/publication/the-princes-in-the-tower/9781803995427/
