Philippa Langley MBE -THE MISSING PRINCES PROJECT & HRH
With King Richard III laid to rest, Kingfinder Philippa Langley turns her attention to one of our most enduring historical mysteries: the disappearance of the sons of King Edward IV of England, more commonly referred to as the ‘Princes in the Tower’. Will new archival searches for evidence, a re-examination of existing sources and the introduction of a modern ‘cold-case’ methodology, finally reveal the fate of ‘The Missing Princes’. At Bosworth in 2015, Philippa launched this unique project. Now, two years later, she returns to Bosworth to reveal what this remarkable modern investigation now tells us and how a 500 year-old missing persons enquiry is already moving our knowledge forward.
