A superb photo-biography!

Prince William deserves ongoing mention as a photo-biography for all ages: it focuses on the young prince from birth to adolescence, and provides a visual display of the young man which will appeal to any with a special affection for England.

This is a delightful book about the charismatic young prince

One might call this a photographic-biography of the young prince. He is captured in photographs from the moments his parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, left the hospital with him through his visit to Vancouver, British Columbia in March, 1998.The front cover has a picture of the handsome prince dressed casually while vacationing with his father at Balmoral just prior to the death of his beloved late mother. The inside of the front cover shows shows Prince William and his father, Charles, Prince of Wales, mobbed in Vancouver. Next is another great picture of the young prince on vacation at Balmoral. His hair is sun-streaked, his shirt is his favorite color - blue, and he is wearing khaki trousers. Opposite the title page is a terrific picture of the young prince who is wearing a tuxedo.This book if filled with pictures of the handsome young prince from childhood to the charismastic, self-confident, sensitive prince we see today. There are a few black and white pictures of him with his late mother and his brother, Prince Harry. All of the other pictures are in color and cover almost all stages of his life. All members of his family are included in these pictures. It has been said that Prince Willima is the most popular royal ever - both inside and outside of the family and is by far the smartest of all the royal family. All the pictures are captioned or accompanied by a story.The boys at Eton College know they cannot talk about the young prince for fear of expulsion. He is lucky that three of his friends from Ludgrove School are also students at Eton.Pictures of Prince William today indicate a young prince who towers above his classmates and appears disciplined and more serious than his smiling pictures reveal. Also, he appears older than his classmates of the same age, he is the most British prince for centuries, and William's modern outlook seems tailored for the new century in which the pace will be faster and the mood more radical.His mother once said of her sons, "I want them to have an understanding of the people's emotions, of people's insecurities, of people's distress, of their hopes and dreams." I believe each of her sons has exhibited that he learned much from his mother. Upon viewing the millions of flowers left as a tribute to their late mother Prince William said to his brother, Prince Harry, that the world really loved their mother.Princess Anne's children, Peter and Zara, are two of his best friends, as well as, his cousins. They rushed to be with him as soon as they heard of his mother's death. Zara can tease William and get by with it. It was Zara who teased William after a well-wisher presented him with a bouquet of flowers. Zara, in my opinion, bears an unncanny resemblance to Prince William's beloved late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.This refers to the hardback edition. It has 95 pages and is 91/4"x113/4". I already had the paper edition which I had read and

This book was great!

This book,I believe, was great! It had many recent as well as past pictures of Prince William. Although the there isn't very much writingin it, it still was very informitive. The book concentrated on Prince William's recent life from his parents divorce to his mother's tragic death. It has 96 pages if absolutle fantastic pictures! I highly recommend this book to Prince William admirers out there.
