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 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. The question is how? Who stopped him going off the rails and turning his back on his duty? Where did the qualities that have so entranced the world come from?--Cover.

Prince William has emerged as the people's prince. He has surfaced from a lifetime of scrutiny and speculation as a discerning and charming young man, determined to serve the nation he loves. His wedding to long-term sweetheart Kate Middleton last year was watched by over two billion people around the world.

Review of 'Prince William' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

The book is very nicely comprehensive and nearly up to the minute. Information is really packed here, and its largely presented in a non-sensationalistic manner.

Having said that, I got the feeling every so often that the author, a member of the press, was in William's corner just a bit too often.

In the end, however, this is a very readable, page-turning, and nicely done biography.
