My least favourite books about the members of the royal family by Ingrid Steward. The information about William and Harry was interesting but it was more about their parents then them. Maybe ig it was written later and spaned under a longer time it would gave been more interesting and more about them. I think It was from their birth to sometime in 2000 - 2005. It was alright but I think I will look for a newer book or two about them.

Although the intent of this book is to focus on the lives of the princes from birth, there is a great deal of focus on the relationship of their parents to each other and their children. Diana was far from the victim that she portrayed herself as and I came away from reading this book with a newfound admiration for Prince Charles and the rest of the royal family.

It's not a bad book per se, it's just really light on info. It's basically a coffee table type book -- glossy, full of pictures, and light on writing. If that's what you want -- go for it. Otherwise it's not a must have.
