About this ebook

An “unputdownable” biography of the future king of England with “intriguing new details” about Kate and Diana by a #1 New York Times–bestselling author (Daily Beast).
 His face is recognized the world over, his story is well known.  But what is Prince William really like?   As Diana’s eldest son, he was her confidant.  While the tabloids eagerly lapped up the lurid details of his parents’ divorce, William lived painfully through it, suffering the embarrassment, the humiliation, and divided loyalties.  He watched his father denounced on prime time television; he met the lovers.  And when he was just fifteen, his beautiful, loving mother was suddenly, shocking snatched from his life forever. The nation lost its princess and its grief threatened the very future of the monarchy.  What was almost forgotten in the clamor was that two small boys had lost their mother.  His childhood was a recipe for disaster, yet as he approaches his thirtieth birthday, William is as well-balanced and sane a man as you could ever hope to meet.  He has an utter determination to do the right thing and to serve his country as his grandmother has so successfully done for the last sixty years.   Who stopped him from going off the rails, turning his back on his duty and wanting nothing to do with the press—the people he blamed for his mother’s death? Where did the qualities that have so entranced the world, and his new bride, Catherine, come from? In the last thirty years, Penny Junor has written extensively about his parents and the extended family into which he was born.  With the trust built up over that time, she has been able to get closer to the answers than ever before.

    This biography by Penny Junor certainly would have met with Court approval as it is more of a tribute to William decidedly of the hagiography nature. In its defense however there is much to like about the young man. Tackling the challenges the trials and tribulations his parents brought upon him he has to a great measure restored faith in the monarchy of the British subjects.The book offers some glimpses into the wreck that his mother Diana was behind the scenes. But as she has been deified by people world wide for her image and public good works it has left a benchmark for William to attain. Thus far he has done fairly good job. One of the interesting aspects of the book shows how William and his brother Harry seemed to switch persona's from young boys to adults. William was feisty one as a boy while Harry seemed the shyer. As adults now William portrays more reserve of the two and Harry the perennial bad boy.Despite what I felt were the excessive praises heaped upon William both he and his brother have much to be admired for in what they have accomplished in their military service. Both have shown they can achieve on their own merits. William piloting the search and rescue Sea King and Harry the Apache. Not many have survived the rigorous training and obstacles yet they have with remarkable success.

    This is a very detailed and interesting look into Prince William's life. This book includes recent events. At times this book seemed to drag on a bit, but overall I enjoyed reading it. I would recommend this book to people interested in the royal family.
