It indicates that this is an unauthorized biography which was published two months before Prince William's mother's tragic death. I don't think William's father or mother or any member of the Royal Family would have authorized this book.

One does not give a chapter the title, "Birth and Circumstances," and then, ramble on for almost three pages about three good looking young teenagers - two brunettes and a blonde - walking along a street near Eton.

I did not see this book until I purchased several memorial books on Diana, Princess of Wales. If one has not kept up with Prince William or if one does not collect books about the Royal Family, this book is fair. Personally, I would NOT have bought it except for my collection.

The pictures are good, but old. This book is paperback and contains one hundred thirty-nine pages in addition to a two page genealogy of "The Royal Line from Queen Victoria to the Presnt? and a page which contains a record of Prince William's birth.

Of course, anything with even a picture of Willaim in it, has to be AT LEAST ok, but this book didn't go much past ok. The pictures were so old, and although it looked like a good book from it's cover, it wasn't all it's cracked up to be. The reading was slow, boring, and didn't have good information. Most of the facts I already knew from magazines and other books, but I will say there were a few new facts in it. There are much better Prince William books out there, so i don't reccomend buying this unless you collect books on him or something like that. Thanks for listening, and William, good luck because your going to need it!

I felt like I was reading Tiger Beat or 16; one of those magazines that only glorify people because of how they look and encourage young girls to obsess and stalk the objects of their affection. If that's what you're looking for, then this is the book for you. Otherwise, if you want facts, real facts, and intelligent arguments about this remarkable boy's life, look elsewhere.

As an avid Prince william Fan myself, I found this book to be very intriguing. It gives a very good explaination of his life to the present day. It tells of his childhood, growing-up and the trouble he went through with his parent's, Prince Charles and the Late Princess Diana, divorce. It gives a good insight into the decisions he had to make and the pressure he is under from the media, especially since his mother died. There are good pictures inside from his childhood and from his scholl, Eton College. In the back there is a listing of his relatives aand family. Overall a jolly good read.

This book is an excellent book but now, is getting out of date with him getting much older and new things coming into his life....ex....no mention of diana's death in this book b/c it was made before her death.

Some facts are really interesting but some sounds to be copying the news from all magazines. Should be better if more research is done!

I loved the book. It had so much information and now I'm waiting for another book. At the public library that I go to I found an older book of William. Published when he was just a baby!! Well I'd just like to say good job on the book from and adoring fan.

It was an excelent book. It gave me much knowledge and information about Prince William.

I finished this book in 3 day.
I thought it was great and it gave me alot of information.
I hope another book comes out about him that will give me more updated information on him.

This was a really informative book with really intresting facts. I love Prince william, so I loved it and I'm sure any fan of his would enjoy it.Super!(except for the 4th grade reading level.) I can't wait for the authorized biography!
