Prince William: Born to be King: An intimate portrait
His face is recognized the world over, his story is well-known. But what is Prince William really like? As Diana's eldest son, he was her confidant. While the tabloids eagerly lapped up the lurid details of his parents' divorce, William lived painfully though it, suffering the embarrassment, the humiliation, and divided loyalties. And when he was just fifteen, his beautiful, loving mother was suddenly, shockingly snatched from his life forever.His childhood was a recipe for disaster, yet as he approaches his thirtieth birthday, William is as well-balanced a man as you could ever hope to meet. He has an utter determination to do the right thing and to serve his country as his grandmother has so successfully done for the last sixty years.Where did the qualities that have so entranced the world, and his new bride, Catherine, come from? In the last thirty years, Penny Junor has written extensively about his parents and the extended family into which he was born. With the trust built up over that time, she has been able to get closer to the answers than ever before.

This has been a very entertaining and enjoyable book. It covers Prince William’s life from day one, and gives the reader some background as to what his parents’ life was like before he was born. I know the public tend to judge both his parents in one way or another, but to me they are just humans with a lot of issues like anybody else. Even Diana, with all her charm and good will had her emotional ups and downs, but I don’t doubt that she did her best to raise both princes. And the same goes for Prince Charles. What must have certainly been hard is reading about his parents’ fights, quarrels and divorce in the papers and tabloids. But still, Price William turned out fine and is a well adjusted man.
He’s definitely a very likeable young man, regardless of his noble titles. He’s quiet, likes to keep a low profile whenever possible and he’s very committed to his work being it in the army as a rescue pilot or raising money for charities and foundations. He always does the right thing, morally and ethically speaking, and he seems to be very down to earth. He tries to live a normal life, if that is at all possible in such a bizarre world, but I think he does it quite well. Whoever is interested in the Royal Family can have a good time reading this book, and learn a couple of things about their private lives, specially the Prince’s.

For a book about William, there were a lot of details about his parents - too much in my opinion. I got the feeling that the author was trying to make everyone feel sorry for Charles, and the Royal family as a whole, because of the way Diana portrayed them to the public. This part was way too pushy to me and kind of annoyed me.
The was also a lot of praising of William, some of which was rightly deserved but a lot of it was just too much. This book was a little hard to read at times, but was overall an interesting biography.

Mislead by Title
This book about Prince William seemed to be about him and Kate, but the the author had her dagger out and rey to praise Charles and cut out Diana's heart. I am not a fan of this kind of fluffy writing. It was a waste of time and money in my opinion. When looks at her other look titles, you can better understand my view. I felt like I was reading a gossip column.

I've always loved the royal family this book definitely deepened the respect I have for them. It also put a lot of things into context for me. I had no idea Diana's childhood was so bad. I also didn't know that she struggled with an eating disorder as well as depression ☹️. But I still love Diana and I still think she was an amazing person. I was never really a Prince Charles fan but after reading this I have a lot of respect for him.

My only complaint was all the Diana bashing. That was difficult to swallow.

I actually quite liked this book much more than any other royal book I've read. It used a lot of more evidence rather than "a close friend of the royals says".

Kind of a rehash of some of the things already published, but it was a good read and the photos are always fun to look at.

Junor begins by calling William one of the most interesting people in the world, and there I have to disagree with her. William is dependable, respectful, and does his duty — meaning I think he’ll make a good king, but he is not too interesting. Princess Diana, now there is someone who is interesting. Would she have made a good monarch? We won’t know that, but she was volatile for sure.
Points I picked up about William:
He was named William, Prince Charles said, because “it is not a name that now exists in the immediate family.”
Junor contends that Diana sometimes changed her children’s nannies because she became jealous of their influence over the boys. She says that this was very hard on William especially, saying that after nanny Barbara Barnes was dismissed when he was four, “he became less outgoing, less trusting, less inclined to make himself vulnerable.”
William was boisterous and naughty as a child, whereas Harry was more subdued. But as they grew up, the roles tended to switch: William becoming more thoughtful and deliberate, while Harry became the “wild child” we’ve seen described in the press. Much of this was probably due to their growing awareness of their roles in life.
William seems to be the best of both his parents: he has Charles’ sense of duty and also Diana’s ability to relate to most anyone and empathize. Unlike Charles, he blends well with his peers (at Eton, he was elected to “Pop,” an honor given only to the best-liked and most successful boys there). And unlike Diana, he is very stable and dependable. He seems to be unscathed by his parents’ highly-publicized problems, and in fact he seems to have deliberately learned lessons from their difficulties and is determined not to repeat their mistakes.
One theme running through the book was how close William and Harry are, especially since Diana’s death. Their personalities are quite different, and yet they complement each other well — they “almost parent each other.”
Academically, William “wasn’t a star but he was certainly competent, and he could certainly hold his own.” Harry, on the other hand, apparently has tremendous struggles academically but does great with people.
Friends report that if you want to understand William, you should look at his relationship with Kate’s family, the Middletons. They’re “nice, straightforward people,” uncomplicated and normal, and they’re not royal.
William likes to control as much of his life as possible (understandable, given that many things are beyond his control). He and Kate took great pains with every aspect of their wedding, wanting “a day that is as enjoyable as possible, for as many people as possible.”
Junor clearly has some biases — she favors Charles over Diana (“he was angry and incredulous that his mother could have done such a thing)”, and doesn’t appear too impressed with Americans, either (she asserts that girls didn’t think William was all that good looking, “except perhaps for the Americans who fell at his feet”). She also calls Matt Drudge of news compilation site The Drudge Report “a US blogger with a gossipy website.”
Sometimes I wondered about her conclusions — having written a book about Kate Middleton myself, I knew from my research that William and Jecca Craig had apparently had a very serious relationship. However, Junor mentions it for only a few sentences, saying “it has long been asserted that the Craigs’ daughter, Jecca, was an early girlfriend, but friend is much closer to the mark.” No reason given as to how she reached this conclusion.
Some editing would have been helpful, too: she tells us that the Middletons are “extremely wealthy”, yet within seven lines we learn they are “resoundingly middle class.” Most of the way through, there is a section with photos. After that, there are several chapters which feel like last-minute add-ons, and pretty much data dumps (facts about Prince George’s arrival, the Canada tour, etc). And many chapters in the book consist largely of lengthy quotes from friends and associates of the prince.
I’ll have to say that Princess Diana’s biography was much more interesting than her son’s. But he comes across as a decent, caring, competent young man who will make a good King someday.

Having been enthralled with the monarchy and the country of England since I was young, I was excited to gain a more in depth knowledge of Prince William. The book details the lives of Princes William and Harry, and makes mention to Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
I feel as if I gained more of an understanding of the relationship between Diana and Charles than I did of Prince William. I was eleven when Diana died, and have frequently thought she was the victim in the relationship she shared with her ex-husband. In my opinion, the first third of this book entrenches the reader into a "he said/did she said/did." That being said, I feel as if I have a better understanding if Charles and Diana and how the situations surrounding them had the relationship break down and was forced in many ways. I felt that Diana was seen to be a bully and Prince Charles, who is a wonderful father in his own right, was the person who simply gave up on her when she was so obviously drowning in self-doubt and self-loathing. Why did no one close to her suggest or force her to get counseling, etc.?
All in all, I feel like I didn't learn anything more about Prince William than what I originally did. He is reserved, rightfully so, but was not very forthcoming with his preferences, personality, etc. Why is William seen to be the more stoic, appropriate Prince while Harry is seen to be the more churlish one? Is this Harry trying to have fun but still wanting to give fresh air to his title and the centuries old monarchy?

Being a huge fan of the young Royals, I was very excited when my library got this book in! Sadly though, I just couldn't seem to get into this one and found myself skimming large chunks. There was a lot of name dropping and I found it difficult to keep many of the players straight (especially those working for the Royals as they changed so often). A large focus was on the media and how the PR department works which was somewhat interesting, though very overused throughout the book.
It was lacking any really interesting tidbits, in my opinion. Much of the information presented has already been discussed (more interestingly) in other books on the subject - I think that's why I couldn't find myself engaged - there wasn't anything new to offer. I think part of that is because Junor continues to be associated with the Royals and likely doesn't want to "rock the boat" and sever her ties with her Royal connections.
However, I did enjoy that she took a different view on Charles as a father. Most books seem to vilify him and make Diana the saint. I liked how Junor showed that Charles was a caring father - just because his style was different from Diana, he often takes a lot of flack in other books of this nature!
Overall, a good read for someone who isn't familiar with Prince William and his backstory, but nothing all that interesting for those who have followed the Royals for a number of years.

This biography by Penny Junor certainly would have met with Court approval as it is more of a tribute to William decidedly of the hagiography nature. In its defense however there is much to like about the young man. Tackling the challenges the trials and tribulations his parents brought upon him he has to a great measure restored faith in the monarchy of the British subjects.
The book offers some glimpses into the wreck that his mother Diana was behind the scenes. But as she has been deified by people world wide for her image and public good works it has left a benchmark for William to attain. Thus far he has done fairly good job.
One of the interesting aspects of the book shows how William and his brother Harry seemed to switch persona's from young boys to adults. William was feisty one as a boy while Harry seemed the shyer. As adults now William portrays more reserve of the two and Harry the perennial bad boy.
Despite what I felt were the excessive praises heaped upon William both he and his brother have much to be admired for in what they have accomplished in their military service. Both have shown they can achieve on their own merits. William piloting the search and rescue Sea King and Harry the Apache. Not many have survived the rigorous training and obstacles yet they have with remarkable success.

This was a strong portrait of Prince William from what is known of the first 30 years of his life. The ultimate value of this biography of course is constrained by its author's need to maintain her own ongoing relationship with the Royal Family and as such it could not hope to be as interesting as the biographies that will be written several decades hence!
Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading Penny Junor's account of William's life so far, but found the book sometimes annoyingly journalistic in style, and occasionally a rather tedious listing of activities and responsibilities. Penny Junor does reveal some information about the relationship between William's parents which makes us feel Prince Charles was much-wronged. During the lifetime of all the people involved we will probably never read a fully-balanced assessment. The key element to come out of this book is the portrayal of William's character; a young man of integrity, genuine warmth and caring sensitivity, who has been blessed with several periods in his life when he has been able to live a normal life. My sadness for him is that when that freedom stops in the future - when they both move to Kensington Palace - for him and for Catherine, there will be a great sense of loss and an even greater personal challenge.

Interesting look into the royal family. What surprised me a bit was that the book did not read as much like a story as I would have hope. Instead it was more like reading a long newspaper article from a multi-part series recounting the history of both stories that were in the news and some that were not. If the book is to be believed, I was glad to see that both Princes William and Harry had a strong relationships with their mother and have a strong relationships with father and their royal grandparents -- all providing different, but important, support in grooming them for their future positions. This was not a book that "you couldn't put down", nevertheless, it was fun to read.
November 19, 2013
Not Penny Junor's finest. The fundamental problem is that it's hard to write about a 31 year-old, particularly one who steers clear of controversy. With such thin subject matter, the first half of the book is hardly about William at all. Instead it focusses on the disintegration of his parents' marriage - a subject closer to Junor's heart and one she does write very well on. Swathes of the second half are given over to lengthy interviews with various charity and Household worthies, none of whom have anything surprising to say. In short, even royalists will find most of this book pretty boring.
June 17, 2014
I love how Junor starts the book by going in depth about the "war of the Windsor's". This demonstrates what Prince William had to grow up around and how those events helped shaped him into the man he is today. In this book you find out about the Prince's distaste for the media, his desire to live a normal life, his university and military careers, and his many charitable works. Prince William understands that the role of the monarchy is changing and it is interesting to see how he is adapting to these changes and what he plans on doing to bring it into the modern era. Overall this is a well written biography that I highly recommend to anyone with an interest in the royal family.

February 11, 2016This book was mentioned during the TV coverage of Elizabeth's 60 Jubilee. I requested the IMCPL to buy the book and I really enjoyed the read. This is the 2nd. time in my life that I have had to change my very made up opinion of someone. Prince William is not the idiot I thought him to be. This book states he's a doting father and has always been. He was very manipulated by Diana and she worked the press to her favor and his detriment. I loved reading it and she paints a picture of a really articulate, thoughtful and very aware Prince who is the best of both of his parents. I LOVED it!!

Since there is so little that's known about William's actual life, the book ends up feeling like it's more about Charles, Diana, & even, to some extent, Harry. It would also be served well by a timeline, as each chapter seems to be a separate area / time in his life without a clear chronological picture. The author is very biased towards Prince Charles & makes a point to highlight Diana's flaws. Overall, it was interesting because I knew very little about Prince William, but nothing.groundbreaking or particularly insightful.
June 19, 2012
The book is very nicely comprehensive and nearly up to the minute. Information is really packed here, and its largely presented in a non-sensationalistic manner.
Having said that, I got the feeling every so often that the author, a member of the press, was in William's corner just a bit too often.
In the end, however, this is a very readable, page-turning, and nicely done biography.

Ironically, William's bio is an easier read than Harry's bio. Charles and Diana are both written in a better light here (Junor is still obviously anti-Diana) than in Harry's bio.
William comes across fairly well here. As does Kate and her family, which is nice because the tabloids are rather anti-Middleton.
This is a recommend book.

The author who once wrote a book about Princess Diana has turned against her. Penny Junor seems firmly within the Prince of Wales camp now, talking frequently of his first wife's mental illness. So while I enjoyed reading about Prince William and how he is changing the furture of the monarcy I wonder how objective and truthful the author is in her opinions and facts.
December 6, 2017
A lot of Diana bashing. Interesting but biased. What really got me was the author siding with Charles who not only stays friends with his past lover (Camilla) but buys her gifts too. Really? What woman on the planet would be OK with their husband seeing and buying his previous girlfriend gifts because they are "friends"?

I enjoy learning about the Royal Family for some reason... and this book held lots of detailed info about all of them... from the Queen, Prince Charles, Princess Diana, and Princes William & Harry... along with Kate Middleton, too. Sometimes, it contained too much detail that it lost my interest... but it was a 'good read'.
August 15, 2016
I have always liked William and Kate, despite not knowing much (factual info) about them. I thought this was a great listen, as several people narrated the quotes, so it seemed very authentic. I enjoyed learning a little more about Diana, Charles and especially Harry. I have loads of respect for Will and Kate, and Harry too.
July 23, 2012
I read Prince William: The Man Who Will be King and I can't find it anywhere and it has the same photo on the front so I am wondering if they are the same? I enjoyed the book I read. It was very informative and set a lot of stories straight.
October 5, 2012
Thought this would be more in depth about William as the title indicated. But it was a real drudgery to get through. Got much the same information in Sally Bedell Smith's Elizabeth the Queen than this on.
Read that one instead and don't waste your time on this one
January 14, 2014
I started reading this, but couldn't finish it as I felt the opinions were very one sided & made to make certain persons appear really bad & portray others in a better light. I don't recommend it if you are looking for a more honest,objective opinion.
December 20, 2014
Could probably have gleaned most of it from a decent search of the internet to be honest. Yes the author works in journalism and has written about the prince before but this really didn't add to my knowledge of him.
November 1, 2015
Although the story is familiar and ongoing, it was good to read about William and learn more about his Character, compassion and desire to relate to the people, especially those who are so needy. I'd love to read a bookon Harry in the future as they are opposites but very compimentary.
June 30, 2012
Continuing my royal obsession with a look at Prince William's bio which is interesting, thorough and up to the minute.
