William at 40: the Making of a Modern Monarch by Robert Jobson
Published in 2022 ahead of his 40th birthday, royal author Robert Jobson’s account on the life of William, the Prince of Wales and future King.
Prince William and Princess Kate’s relationship is expected to be particularly in the spotlight this year, with the royal couple celebrating their 15th wedding anniversary in April.
And with the future King and Queen overcoming a difficult few years with Princess Kate’s recent cancer recovery, royal experts have been praising the couple as “more united today than ever”.
“They are a proper partnership, and theirs is a marriage based on friendship, love and mutual respect,” royal expert Katie Nicholl recently told OK!. “They’ve been to hell and back in the past year or two, but they look very, very strong together and they are clearly very in love.”
“It’s been challenging,” she added of their difficulties in recent years. “They have stuck together through awful times, and have become even more tightknit. Going through cancer can make or break a couple, but we’ve heard William speak so movingly and openly about his love for his wife, and his admiration for everything she’s been through and navigated.”
Well, this is lovely.
