The best book on the Princes to date - By: Klaus Meyer, 04 Oct 2004 
Ingrid Seward is one of the most famous royal biographer. All her books are written with deep inside, understanding, passion & loyalty. She understands the ins & outs of royal life & is able to transmit this to her readers.
This book is no exception from this rule. So one learns & awful lot about the two princes & of course of the whole Royal Family. Even tough the princes are often labelled as "Diana's boys" they are very much as well "Windsor boys". She makes that cristal clear. I believe she is right about this. The controversy of the War of the Wales play into the whole biography, especiallyin the first years of the lives of the two princes. And there is much to think about what they had to endure. It seems to me that Ingrid Seward is less a fan of Diana & sometimes one feels that shein not fair on her. On the other hand one has to admit that Charles who had the reputation of a "bad father" cannot be described as that. Maybe he is a rather traditional or better a traditional royal father but without a shadow of a doubt he is a father who deeply cares for his sons. However, this is a book on the future king & his younger brother & she managein her final chapters to work out what William & Henry (Harry) are about. Of course, much is still not finalizedin these young princes but one realiazes that especially William is a strong,intelligent & sensitive character. Harry seems to be the more playful but not a man to underestimated.
As usual Ingrid Seward' s style of writing is elegant, with a great flow, ensuring that the reader does not get bored. I enjoyed it a very much, eventough I found it a bit too loyal (if you know what I mean). In any case one of the best books on the princes to date.
Great book about the royal princes! - By: Luís Eduardo Nicolau M. Silva, 14 May 2004 This book give us information not only on the young princes, but also on the British Monarchy since Diana & Charles. The writing style it's very descriptive, but not too much. For just a few pounds I could learn more, much more than I ever thought about them. The book gives us a good insight into the world of a modern princesin an incomplete family. Very good photos. The author probes the many sides of them, from the gilded childrens who had every opportunityin life. The most important: a lot of new information! Enjoy!
