The Mystery of the Missing Princes: New Theory on Historic Disappearance
AUSTRALIA, JUL 18 – Philippa Langley disputes Richard III's guilt, citing new evidence that the princes survived, and challenges Tudor-era narratives shaped by King Henry VII’s paranoia.
- British author Philippa Langley proposed that the two young princes who disappeared from the Tower of London over five centuries ago actually survived.
- Langley brought together a team of experts, such as law enforcement officers and legal professionals, to consult on the case from the perspective of a historical cold investigation.
- The Missing Princes Project lasted a decade and uncovered significant information supporting the survival thesis, which Langley details in her book.
- Langley stated that the responsibility now lies with critics to prove the princes actually died, while sceptics contend that Richard III would have taken an enormous risk by sparing the boys.
- Langley attributes the accepted narrative that Richard III murdered the princes to Tudor propaganda by King Henry VII, implying the survival thesis challenges traditional history.
