William And Harry: Behind The Palace Walls (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
So maybe I am a little starstruck....These boys are truly trying to live normal lives and trying to find their place. Of course, "normal" is a relative term and with the majority of the book focused on their school years--prep school and university--, they do spend quite a lot of time engaged in college frat boy behaviors. But, I sense a maturity in both of them as they come of age and come to terms with being the "heir and the spare". Had to go back over this after starting The Making of a Royal Romance by Katie Nicholl, not realizing they were essentially the same book, just revised and expanded (new photographs?). I haven't noticed any other significant revisions. A clear, even-handed portrait of what it is like for young royals trying to live a normal life. I really like both William and Harry Wales and their girlfriends Kate and Chelsea. V. amusing descriptions of the Glossy Posse's nightclub antics and drinking preferences, including a drink called "Crack Baby" - vodka, passion fruit juice and champagne served in a test tube. I'm a part-time royal watcher and kept with the new book for entertainment value.
What do You think about William And Harry: Behind The Palace Walls (2010)?
Nice inside view into the lives of the Royals.
