I've read quite a lot about Diana,Princess of Wales but not too much on HRH Prince Charles so this was interesting to me because I had never actually seen a book on them both.Generally this filled in some gaps for me but seemed to gloss over the fact that the marriage was mostly an unhappy one.This takes you through how they met,the courtship,the marriage and the birth of Prince William and Harry.Loved the little details such as what the Princess sung on the way to the alter,Prince Charles quotes,the wedding presents,gifts from the public and general info on their everyday life together.I was also occasionally laughing out loud at the more funnier antidotes and I would recommend this to a Princess of Wales fan or to anyone that is fascinated by royalty.

Written in 1985 before the news of the breakdown of the royal marriage and affairs hit the worldwide media, this bio of Prince Charles and Diana is an interesting point-in-time summary of the lives and early marriage of the Prince and Princess of Wales. It covers both of their childhoods, the courtship, wedding and early years of the marriage & parenting. Back when the world was hopeful that the fairytale was real, it's now a poignant look-back.

I first read this book in June, 1985, shortly after its publication. I enjoyed it then, and have reread it a few times since.

Though, of course, it is somewhat outdated, be cause of events and Princess Diana's passing, it is still an excellent read.

The first book I've read on them. Not the best..
