Perhaps the world loved Prince William before he was even born, as 750 million viewers watched the fairytale wedding of his parents, Prince Charles of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer. Underlying the pageantry of that royal union was its imminent aftermath: An heir to the throne. Their first-born child, Prince William of Wales, second in succession to be the King of England, is that heir. Thirty years later, the world is spellbound again by the wedding plans of Prince William and Catherine Kate Middleton. The nuptials may be steeped in tradition Kate dons the late Princess Diana's sapphire engagement ring, and the ceremony location is Westminster Abbey but this royal couple boasts modern day appeal. The strikingly beautiful Kate is a commoner, not to mention the two lived together before taking their vows. William and Kate have already put a new face on an old tradition. "Royal Romance, Modern Marriage: The Love Story of William & Kate" is a comprehensive, chronological telling of this charming, contemporary fairytale. After an overview of the British Royal Family, the book deconstructs William and Kate's childhoods before they met at St. Andrews University in 2001. From their on-again, off-again eight-year courtship to their Kenyan holiday engagement, from up-to-date ceremony details to post wedding day expectations, this well-researched but concise book explores not only the past, but future of this royal couple, presumably destined to be crowned the King and Queen of England.
