Prince William & Kate: A Royal Romance by Matt Doeden

4.0

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.
