Nigel Blundell is a British journalist and author whose career has taken him through newsrooms in Australia, the United States, and Britain. He worked as a journalist in the United States, Australia and Great Britain, spending twenty-five years in Fleet Street before becoming a contributor to national newspapers and magazines. That long career as a Fleet Street reporter gave him the material and connections for a prolific second act as an author of popular non-fiction.
Blundell is best known for turning his journalistic instincts toward true crime, royal scandal, and popular history. He is the author of more than fifty factual books, many on crime and criminal behaviour, and he co-wrote the exposé Fall of the House of Windsor, which first revealed the so-called "Squidgygate" tape and the infidelity of both Princess Diana and Prince Charles. Beyond royalty and crime, his other factual subjects have included military history, celebrity scandals, and ghosts and the paranormal, reflecting a broad, tabloid-honed curiosity that made him a familiar byline to British readers for decades.
Blundell's illustrated coffee-table volumes, such as his book on Scotland, sit within this larger body of accessible, image-driven non-fiction that he produced alongside his crime and royal exposés. Copies of these heavily illustrated titles, often published in handsome hardcover editions, remain sought after by collectors of British topographical and popular history publishing, both for their photography and for their association with a widely read Fleet Street figure whose career spanned continents and decades of tabloid journalism.
