Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A little new information, a lot of bias
Review: For your money you get quite a bit of the same old stories, some new information (the Prince Harry drugs episode told differently to what I'd read before)and a lot of bias.
Seward doesn't really spare anyone, managing to come up with something unflattering about each of the players in the story, but somehow the Princess almost always seems to come out worse than Prince Charles (and for a book about the two boys there is too much material about their parents).
It seems that every rumor about Diana's love life is taken as fact while the official version (how many people really believe that?)about Charles is taken as fact. William and Harry get a lot told about them of course, some of it not flattering and mostly old news but in the end Seward seems to think well of them.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Ingrid Seward should change her name
Review: I read this book ,two days ago,thanks to a friend who was polite enough to gave it to me before he was throwing it away.In this Book Ingrid continues the saga of the hate against Diana,and instead of writing about William and harry and how dreafull they have both come out,full of problems,while Diana is absent for 6 years and the boys were raised by Charles and Camilla,she again blames everything on Diana.She has become a joke to the world of journalists and her suck up to Charles and Camilla is disgusting,i recomend people to buy this book and burn it.

Ingrid Seward to Ingrid Selling my own mother for a royal kissass Seward.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I liked it...
Review: I thought it was a pretty good book. There was a lot about Charles and Diana that should have been left out. I have been following William all my life, and there were a few stories about him and his brother in this book that I have not heard of yet. It gives you a very well insight about the marrige but more about that than the boys.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A slanted view on a marriage
Review: Once again Ms. Seward has went out of her way to misrepresent her subjects. Much as she did in "The Queen and Di."
Her attemps to make the Spencer family look beneath contempt have backfired because her readers know otherwise. For instance she wants us to think that members of the Royal family do not have affairs with the hired help when of course it is common knowledge that they do.
In fact those incidents go back as far as King William III and an ancestor of Camilla Parker Bowles, 16 year old Arnold Van Keppel, who was the King's homosexual lover.
Seward's sources are, for the most part, non-existent.
The general public knows as much about Princes William and Harry as Seward does because just about the only accurate information in the book has to do with their birth places and dates, schools attended and what is already known about them from other sources available to all. Thus she has deliberately manufactured a load of nonsense in order to cash in on the popularity of two young men who deserve a better chronicler.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bad taste
Review: What a dissappointment, if you are a fan of Diana, Princess of Wales then this is not the book for you. I was hoping for an autobiographical picture of the two Princes, no such luck. Ingrid Steward has devoted a large portion of this book to attacking Diana, who she obviously dislikes. Prince Charles is also attacked gently, but Steward maybe saved her worst venom on the lady unable to defend her self anymore. God forbid she fall from favour with the living. I was disgusted with the book and would not recommend it to anyone other than a fan who see's no wrong in the warped world that is the House of Windsor.
