William and Kate

Meer over het boek

I put it to William, particularly, that if you find someone you love in life, you must hang on to that love and look after it. . . . You must protect it. —Diana, Princess of Wales This updated edition features a new chapter on the wedding and 15 wedding photographs. Their union was destined to be one of the most celebrated of the twenty-first century: he, the charismatic prince; she, the beautiful commoner who won his heart. Prince William and Kate Middleton defied the odds to create a storybook romance amid the scandals and dysfunction of Britain’s Royal Family. Despite nearly a decade of relationship, they have remained famously private. Journalist Christopher Andersen reveals intimate details of their courtship, including William’s role as confidant to his mother, the lengths they went to keep their affair secret, and the challenges they faced, including a headlining breakup and family scandals. The book also explores the influence of William’s aristocratic friends and the threats to their lives, along with the Queen’s historic plans for them. Ultimately, their story is a compelling love story, marked by private moments, personal dramas, and a devotion that has grown stronger over time.
