English Summary/英文概要： THE CONTENTS
Introduction
The Birth of a Prince
A look at the birth and early life of Prince William – his education in London and at the world famous Eton College – as well as how he coped with his parents’ divorce, his mother’s tragic death and how he grew into manhood. Catherine Elizabeth
The early life of Kate, as the world has come to know her, is looked at in detail here with information about her family background and her time at school. Myths are laid to rest such as the one about her having a picture of Prince William on her wall at school – in fact it was a Levis’ ad.
A Modern Royal Romance
Prince William and Kate Middleton met at St Andrews University, where both of them began their degree courses in 2001. The charming town in Fife along with the remote and secluded environs of the Balmoral estate (the Queen’s home in Scotland) proved a quiet and secure backdrop for the two to begin their courtship. Eager to avoid the problems that his mother had run into, William kept his romance with Kate on a low-key level in order to minimise press intrusion, but as this chapter shows they really only had eyes for one another. In 2007 it looked as though the romance had floundered, when a split between Prince William and Kate Middleton was announced all over the world’s press. It was an opportunity for both to learn some lessons. The couple’s split did not last long and they were soon back together. Both had learnt much about themselves, pursued other interests – in William’s case his military career and in Kate’s a photography course and work for her parents’ company, Party Planners. Rumours, though, abounded that Kate was “the one”. While Kate worked at several jobs for short periods, Prince William learned to fly helicopters and began taking on more responsibilities in his role as a member of the royal family, following in the footsteps of both his parents in their dedication to charitable works.
The Engagement
At 11.00 am on Tuesday 16 November, the statement came that the world had been waiting for: HRH The Prince of Wales was pleased to announce the engagement of HRH Prince William of Wales to Miss Catherine Middleton. The press was caught on the hop, but it leapt at the news and what it meant for the future. This chapter covers the announcement, the couple’s photo call and subsequent interview, as well as how the world’s press greeted their decision.
The Wedding
A complete analysis of the event itself, beginning with the preparations and the crowds lining the streets, beautiful full-colour images will follow the arrival of the guests at Westminster Abbey and the processions of the Royal Family, Prince William and his brother and supporter on the day, Prince Harry, as well as the bridesmaids and page boys before the bride herself finally steps from the car with her father to take her steps up the aisle of one of England’s oldest and best known churches. This section also examines the fashions among the guests who will range from representatives of the couple’s favourite charities to well-known celebrities such as David and Victoria Beckham to the crowned heads and representatives of all the royal families of Europe. Following highlights of the ceremony, further images will focus on the processions back to Buckingham Palace and the customary balcony appearances, as well as the celebrations by the watching crowds and the fireworks in the evening.
