“Written for young audiences, Prince William & Kate: A Royal Romance nicely lays out the story of Prince William of Wales and his bride, Kate Middleton. The writing is straightforward, with very little in the way of speculation or gossip and the author has included definitions of some words that may be new to the intended audience. (Example: “perceptive” – able to see and understand things clearly.) The young royals are presented as real people with strengths and weaknesses and there is some explanation of the changing role of the royal family over the years. The book design is attractive and the photo quality is excellent.
While not for the seasoned royal watcher, Prince William & Kate: A Royal Romance is, all-in-all, a good introduction to the newlyweds for the pre-teen crowd.
Listed as for ages 9-12. I would drop that to, perhaps, ages 6-10.
