William: The People's Prince

By Ian Lloyd

2003 will mark the 21st birthday of Prince William. This photographic biography celebrates William's life to date, examining his complex character and his relationships with both friends and other members of the Royal Family and positions him in the history of the monarchy. Encouraged by his mother, William has developed his own distinctive style of royalty, characterised by independence and a strong will. Perhaps William's greatest strength lies in his ability to amalgamate the responsibilities of a 'would be king' with the usual social activities of teenager. This ability will be illustrated throughout the book, each chapter covering a different relationship, ranging from his informal affinity with his mother and how he coped with Diana's death, his developing strong bond with his father, the rapport between the very different brothers and formal kinship with the Queen. The book will also cover his passion for sport and his reputation as a fashionable heart throb, how he is portrayed in the media, his life as a student and his year abroad on safari in Africa, with his father's regiment in Belize, with Raleigh International in Chile, and, closer to home, working as a farm hand nea

Lovely Pictures, But Little Fact

Ian Lloyd has succeeded in producing a book of highly enjoyable, and well taken photos, but he should have put as much time into fact checking as he did picking out pics. I'd say buy the book, but just look at the pictures. Don't bother reading the mistake riddled text.
