Philippa Langley took the world by storm when she led the search and discovery of Richard III’s body. Now, she has turned her attention to the fate of the Princes in the Tower – a mystery that has divided opinion for over 500 years.

Following years of intensive research by Philippa and her international team, she will present the findings of ‘The Missing Princes Project’. Using investigative methodology, it places this most enduring of mysteries under a forensic microscope for the first time, unearthing new archival discoveries along the way.
