Product Description

Product Description

This is the definitive inside account of how William's love affair with an ordinary middle class English girl will reshape Britain's monarchy into a 21st century institution. Defined by the errors and scandals of the past, William can - some say must - now pursue a relationship where love and duty are entwined. This book tells the story of William's transition from adolescent, grieving the loss of his beloved mother Diana and coming to terms with his father's love for another woman; to cool royal icon and self-possessed young man, confident and desirable as a uniquely eligible young man. For the first time this book chronicles his relationship with Kate Middleton - a partner who bucks all historic trends - from their first encounter at university in Scotland to her being strongly tipped as the next royal bride, and future Queen Consort. It details how William has been shaped by the failures of past and current heirs to the throne - and how in the figure of Kate he has reconciled the conflicting pressures he faces in choosing the right bride. The result is a comprehensive and fascinating insight into not only the romantic life of a Prince, but an expose of the inner workings of the evolving monarchy and its fight for renewed respect in the hearts and minds of the British public and the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars A really good read, 27 Sep 2006
What a fascinating and detailed insight into the Royal Family. I really enjoyed this read. It begins like a fast-paced detective novel with the author going through the intrigue of getting a scoop for his paper (he is a journalist for the London Standard) and goes on to tell how the Wills and Kate relationship will change the face of the British Royal family - with lots of juicy behind the scenes revelations along the way.
I have read a few books on the royals, especially on Diana's life, and what I liked about this one was that it was so beautifully written with real authority (I can't stick those gushing books full of vague mush).
Although the two youngsters are not quite engaged yet, it can't be too long before they make an announcement... watch this space!

1.0 out of 5 stars Royal Rubbish, 23 Aug 2007
By Ruth M "Ruth M" (North London) - See all my reviews
After reading approximately 100 pages of this turgid book, I felt an overwhelming desire to throw it on the fire. Not only was it badly written from the word go but many of the so-called "facts" struck me as being nothing but unsubstantiated hatstand from a notoriously arrogant misogynist. I cannot help but feel loathing towards this charmless writer who has somehow forged a career writing about the good old Royal family. If you are after idle speculation and a first class ticket to snooresville then this account is for you. Jobson represents everything that is wrong with reporting in this field - Fleet Street's finest this writer is NOT.
