Is ..."

Nope. It's the book Red, White & Royal Blue. He's the prince of Wales. The other main character is the first son. I mean, I don't know how the Wales government works. I live in the United States. But I would think that a prince is still a part of the legal system, since his dad, the King, is the head of everything legal... And unlike the first son, the prince does have some say-so.

[JoAnne]

This challenge was written by a UK citizen, so I'm going to say unless he is a lawyer, paralegal, solicitor or judge, it would not work.
