Prince William and Kate: A Royal Romance is a nicely written biography of the two main players in the recent "wedding of the century". It's interesting and moves along at a good pace, with absolutely gorgeous pictures. It's very appropriate for middle-grade and junior high readers, as it glosses over some of the aspects of the Charles and Diana drama that parents and teachers would probably rather not discuss with young readers just yet. It also unobtusively defines words that young readers might be unfamiliar with right in the text, which is a nice feature. It deals mostly with the early lives of both William and Kate, both individually and together, jumping from their engagement to their wedding rather quickly (which was refreshing, having lived through all the media hype surrounding the time period, though later readers who haven't may wish for more details). This book will make a nice addition to the YA/children's biography shelf of any library or collection.
It's probably not a secret that I'm into all things royal and I'm a sucker for a good love story. I love the story of Prince William and Kate Middleton. He was one of the most famous bachelors in the world and she was a middle-class girl from the English Countryside. The fact that they fell in love is just way romantic to me. When I saw that I could get this book off of Netgalley, I jumped for it.
Are you going to learn anything new about their relationship? No, not really. The book doesn't really shed any new light on their relationship that hasn't already been covered extensively on tv or in magazines. It's a quick, heartwarming read. The pictures are gorgeous and while many of them have been seen extensively in magazines and other books and the like, it's a great collection all in one book.
Bottom line: This book would make a great gift for a middle grade or young adult person who has an interest in the royal family. Although any adult who has been intrigued by the love affair between Will and Kate will probably like this book as well.
