Non-Fiction Biography
Drawing from her personal conversations with Prince Charles
and Princess Diana, as well as a wide range of close
contacts from those who know them best, Ingrid Seward here
presents the first authoritative portrait of the young
princes William and Harry. William &
Harry is the first authoritative portrait of the two
young princes who are directly in line to the British
throne. Ingrid Seward, the best-selling author of The
Queen & Di, draws from her personal conversations
with Prince Charles and Princess Diana, as well as a wide
range of intimate contacts, to give us the closest look yet
at the lives of the men who would be king.
William, who is second in line to the throne, turns
twenty-one this year. He has conquered his natural reticence
and is aware he carries the future of the royal family on
his shoulders. Harry, his younger brother, is trying to live
up to expectations while attempting to control his wild
side. Seward takes a frank look at the problems the two boys
faced while growing up in the spotlight of royalty. She
reveals for the first time how they reacted to the break-up
of their parents’ marriage and their mother’s tragic death,
as well as how they dealt with Diana’s often terrifying
celebrity in life. Seward answers the most
compelling questions: What really happened after Diana died?
How did Charles rise out of the morass of indecision to take
responsibility for his sons, and how did he reclaim the
affection of his two teenage boys? How did they feel about
Camilla Parker Bowles, the other woman in Charles’s life
whom Diana detested? What is their relationship with each
other and with the rest of the Royal Family? And how have
they learned to deal with being royal in an age when the old
certainties are gone? Insightful and engaging,
William & Harry follows the lives of two
remarkable young men, who, like Diana, have captivated the
world and now personify the future of the British monarchy.
