Аннотация:
In a life spent under the spotlight Prince William has emerged as the people's prince.The survivor of a tumultuous childhood marred by tragedy he has shown himself as a sensitive and charming young man, determined to find a stable future for himself and the British monarchy.The full complexity and strength of the Prince is revealed in this compelling biography. The most authoritative account yet, acclaimed royal biographer Penny Junor brings the first genuine understanding of what it was like for Prince William to grow up between warring parents, to lose his mother so suddenly, and to begin to build his own life, as far as possible outside the public gaze. Only through time and privacy, could his love for Kate Middleton blossom into a lifelong commitment which will see her one day as our Queen.In preparing for the much-anticipated royal wedding, William has emphasised that he's keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. He has given Kate Diana's engagement ring in a poignant gesture that was his way of making sure his mother was included in the celebrations. He has inherited much of her instinctive empathy which has endeared him to many from all walks of life and across the world.Not yet 30, Prince William is already very much his own man.This is the definitive portrait of the man who will be king.
