What happens when confrontational tabloid photos of America’s First Son and England’s second Prince of Wales threaten relations between the two countries? Why, their handlers force them into a staged friendship! But in between official events, Alex Claremont-Diaz and Prince Henry start to become friends, and maybe even something more...

This is the absolute funniest book I have listened to in forever!! I thought I was going to give myself an asthma attack from laughing so much and so hard!!

I LOVED all the Star Wars references!!

All the HP references were tired.

I was utterly horrified that the narrator pronounced gif as "jif"!! 😱

I am head over heels in love with these characters!!

I stayed up till after 5:30am to finish this and I'll probably re-listen to it again before the year is out! (It's mid December)
