I have a dozen GEDCOM files here, and Brian just mentioned royal92.ged, 
which is a good one. Many of my GEDCOMs have Dutch authors, meaning that 
people have localized names, which is something that you probably won't 
like, but I have another one named royal-uk.ged.

And next to the specialized sites, you can also look at shared trees 
like the ones on FamilySearch, Geni, and WikiTree.

I did not read the book, but I've seen one or two documentaries, and 
remember one where Philippa Langley visited some archives in Holland and 
Germany. And when I read the Wikipedia page at

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princes_in_the_Tower

I see lots of familiar names. I am a descendant of the princes' ancestor 
King Edward III myself (20 generations), and one possible murderer, 
James Tyrrell I, is a grandson of another ancestor, John Tyrrell, also 
20 generations before me.

cheers,

Enno
