July 17, 1674. During renovations at the Tower of London, construction workers digging beneath a stone staircase make a chilling discovery—two child-sized skeletons buried ten feet underground. And King Charles II believes he knows who they are.
The remains reignite one of the most enduring mysteries in British history: the fate of the Princes in the Tower. For over 500 years, historians have debated what happened to King Edward V and his younger brother, Prince Richard. Were they murdered—perhaps by their uncle, Richard III? Or did they simply vanish from the historical record?
This week, Sally Helm speaks with Philippa Langley, author of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Princes-Tower-Solving-Historys-Greatest/dp/163936627X">The Princes in the Tower: Solving History’s Greatest Cold Case</a>. Langley shares why she believes we’ve been looking at this mystery the wrong way—and how new evidence could finally bring the truth to light.
