"I put it to William, particularly, that if you find someone you
love in life, you must hang on to that love and look after it. . .
. You must protect it. "--Diana, Princess of Wales
The book that surprised the industry, now updated with a new
chapter on the wedding and 15 wedding photographs.
Theirs was destined from the start to be one of the most celebrated
unions of the twenty-first century: he, the charismatic prince who
would someday be crowned king of England; she, the stunningly
beautiful commoner who won his heart. Prince William and Kate
Middleton defied all odds to forge a storybook romance amid the
scandals, power struggles, tragedies, and general dysfunction that
are the hallmarks of Britain's Royal Family. In the process, they
became the most written about, gossiped about, admired, and envied
young couple of their generation.
Yet for most of their nearly decade-long affair, William and Kate
have remained famously quiet and kept their royal relationship a
tantalizing mystery. Now, journalist and #1 "New York Times
"bestselling author Christopher Andersen reveals the intimate
details of their celebrated courtship and offers a mesmerizing
glimpse of the man and wife--and future king and queen--they will
become:
- William's lifelong role as confidant and adviser to his fragile
mother, and how it has shaped his relationship with Kate
- The lengths the couple went to to keep their affair secret, from
their first days together as university students (when he cheered
her on as she modeled racy lingerie at a fashion show)
- William's romantic conquests before--and during--his decade-long
romance with Kate
- The person who was really behind their headlinemaking
breakup--and how Kate won back her prince
- The shocking sex-and-drugs scandals involving Kate's wild
relatives, and how the would-be queen survived them
- The long-troubling influence of William's substance-abusing
aristocrat friends and the depression Kate rescued him from
- Stunning new information on the threats to both their lives, the
nightmare scenario that haunts William's dreams to this day, and
their narrow escape from repeating Diana's fate
- Surprising details on the Queen's historic plans for William and
Kate, which will forever change the face of the monarchy
For many, William and Kate's union represents an opportunity to
recapture the magic--the compelling and complicated legacy--of his
beloved mother Diana, Princess of Wales. Part glittering fairy
tale, part searing family drama, part political potboiler, part
heart-stopping cliff-hanger, theirs is, above all else, an affair
to remember.
***
Theirs is the story of two young people who found each other in
college, came perilously close to losing what they had forever, and
pulled back from the brink at the last possible moment. Theirs is
the story of private moments stolen for public consumption, of
harrowing car chases, of scorching personal dramas played out
behind the scenes, of calm heads prevailing in times of panic, and
of a singular devotion made stronger by time.
The saga of William and Kate is one thing above all else: a love
story.
