This book reveals the true story of Maundy Gregory, the man responsible for 'An Insult to the Crown'. It reveals the names of the individuals who purchased titles and influence from Lloyd George. Gregory's unearthed documents reveal the identities of those who purchased titles from him and the Prime Ministers and Chief Whips for whom he worked. It uncovers the involvement of the Secret Service and how Gregory exploited sensitive information that enabled him to gain access and influence to pillars of the establishment. Reveals the contents of the recently declassified secret file held on Gregory and his activities by the Vatican.
