For over 700 years, the title 'Prince of Wales' has been awarded to
royal heirs waiting to accede to the throne of England. They did
not always achieve it even the highest in the land have been
subject to disease, death and the fortunes of war, or of politics.
Others have spent long years waiting for the crown itself, living
for decades in the shadow of the throne. Yet all who inhabit this
intriguing role have left their stamp upon it, and it has been
shaped and relished by some of the greatest personalities of the
age. Princes of Wales explores the stories of history's most
interesting royal heirs, from the charismatic Black Prince and the
dissolute Prince Hal to the ill-fated Arthur and the flamboyant
Prince Regent, as well as the colorful characters of the 20th
century. It shows how the role reflects and defines the spirit of
its age, be it medieval chivalry or Tudor mythmaking, Regency
excess or 1930s glamour. It charts the legendary battles of
sovereigns and their sons (especially over money and marriage) and
shows how different characters responded to an evolving role and a
changing world. As the present Prince of Wales approaches 60, this
is a compelling and sympathetic portrait of those who have enjoyed
this uniquely privileged yet often frustrating position - the men
who would be king.
