For many years, Camilla was portrayed in a poor light, blamed by the public for the break-up of the marriage between Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Initially, Queen Elizabeth refused to see or speak to her, but, since the death of Prince Philip, Camilla had become one of the Queen's closest companions. Her confidence in Camilla and the transformation she had seen in Prince Charles since their wedding resulted in her choosing the first day of her Platinum Jubilee year to tell the world that she wanted Camilla to be Queen Consort, not the demeaning Princess Consort suggested in 2005.

They were the closest of sisters and the best of friends. But when, in a quixotic twist of fate, their uncle Edward Vlll decided to abdicate the throne, the dynamic between Elizabeth and Margaret was dramatically altered. Forever more Margaret would have to curtsey to the sister she called "Lillibet". And bow to her wishes. Elizabeth would always look upon her younger sister's antics with a kind of stoical amusement, but Margaret's struggle to find a place and position inside the royal system - and her fraught relationship with its expectations - was often a source of tension.

Publisher's summary
His face is recognized the world over; his story is well known. But what is Prince William truly 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. He watched his father denounced on prime-time television; he met the lovers. And when he was just 15, his beautiful, loving mother was suddenly, shockingly snatched from his life forever. The nation lost its princess and its grief threatened the very future of the monarchy. What was almost forgotten in the clamor was that two small boys had lost their mother.
His childhood was a recipe for disaster, yet as he approaches his 30th birthday, William is as well-balanced and sane 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 60 years. Who stopped him from going off the rails, turning his back on his duty, and wanting nothing to do with the press - the people he blamed for his mother's death? Where did the qualities that have so entranced the world, and his new bride, Catherine, come from?
In the last 30 years, Penny Junor has written extensively about his parents and the extended family into which he was born. With the advantage of her relationships within William's circle, she has been able to get closer to the answers than ever before.

Story
Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Excellent Story Expertly Told
What made the experience of listening to Prince William the most enjoyable?
The fact that it was unbiased and told the true story instead of reporting what so many other biographers have written to please the public. It revealed that royals are human beings even if they are born bluebloods. Prince William has been fortunate enough to inherit the best qualities of both parents. He has his father's sense of duty coupled with his dead mother's enormous charisma. And he looks like a film star, an advantage his beleagered father never had.
This is an insider's glimpse into the lives of two future kings of England. Penny Junor, who went to boarding school with Princess Anne, knows Prince Charles and Prince William personally. Muckrakers like Kitty Kelley and Christopher Anderson have never met members of the Royal Family and do not know them, therefore they feel entitled to print unsubstantiated gossip that maligns innocent people they feel free to judge very harshly without getting their facts straight.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Both Prince William and Prince Charles, who was especially courageous after his former wife's death in 1997 when he was the target of so much intolerance and hatred.
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
It makes the storytelling much more vivid.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The true story of the King of Hearts.
Any additional comments?
Diana may have been the humanitarian Queen of Hearts but her true legacy has been as a young, modern mother who changed the Royal Family and the direction of the Monarchy forever.

Not What You Would Expect
Would you try another book from Penny Junor and/or the narrators?
I expected a book about William however I felt Diana was beaten down in this book. Statements were made without evidence or basis. I would not recommend this book.

Really biased.
I've seen Penny Junor on a number of documentaries, so I thought her work would be more factual instead of loaded with opinions. While I'm ok with her support of Charles (I think he's gotten a bad rap in many ways over the years), I certainly don't think Diana deserved the beat down she receives in this book. No, she wasn't a saint, but I really don't believe she was as awful as she was portrayed in this book. Glad I didn't pay money for this.

Perhaps , finally someone to admire
I understand more about the haplessness and lostness of now King Charles. Nothing. EVER emotionally invested in him from external source. Royals have never been much other than breeders. Charles missed out completely in receiving meaningful mentorship until this very day. I'm glad to see this record of his consistent affectionate acts on the two boys. His acts were more helpful in William's case than Harry's. EVERY player including Diana, lacked even slightest semblance of environment necessary for normal human development, as outlined by Piaget. Perhaps nature's sleight of hand has resulted in William's apparently more healthy outcome. Would that the God of Heaven had similarly intervened in life of Kaiser Wilhelm, grandson pf Queen Victoria.
