Items related to William And Harry
William & Harry is the first authoritative portrait of the two young princes who are directly in line to the British throne. Ingrid Seward, the best-selling author of The Queen & Di, draws from her personal conversations with Prince Charles and Princess Diana, as well as a wide range of intimate contacts, to give us the closest look yet at the lives of the men who would be king. William, who is second in line to the throne, turns twenty-one this year. He has conquered his natural reticence and is aware he carries the future of the royal family on his shoulders. Harry, his younger brother, is trying to live up to expectations while attempting to control his wild side. Seward takes a frank look at the problems the two boys faced while growing up in the spotlight of royalty. She reveals for the first time how they reacted to the break-up of their parents' marriage and their mother's tragic death, as well as how they dealt with Diana's often terrifying celebrity in life. Seward answers the most compelling questions: What really happened after Diana died? How did Charles rise out of the morass of indecision to take responsibility for his sons, and how did he reclaim the affection of his two teenage boys? How did they feel about Camilla Parker Bowles, the other woman in Charles's life whom Diana detested? What is their relationship with each other and with the rest of the Royal Family? And how have they learned to deal with being royal in an age when the old certainties are gone? Insightful and engaging, William & Harry follows the lives of two remarkable young men, who, like Diana, have captivated the world and now personify the future of the British monarchy.

Review:
""Combines a wealth of lively behind the scenes reporting with [an] interesting analysis of the ways in which the public and private aspects of this unhappy story mesh."
About the Author:
Ingrid Seward has been writing about the royal family for 17 years since becoming editor of Majesty magazine in 1983 and she is internationally acknowledged as a leading expert in the field. Diana: Portrait of a Princess; By Royal Invitation; Royalty Revealed; Sarah, Duchess of York; Royal Children of the 20th Century; Prince Edward, The Last Great Edwardian; Lady: The Life and Style of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother; and The Queen and Di have kept her in the bestselling lists over the past 12 years, and she is in the unique position of being able to write about her subjects while knowing many of them personally. Ingrid Seward makes regular television appearances in the UK, Australia and North America and commented on the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales for CBS television with Dan Rather and Professor David Starkey.
