An illustrated souvenir guide published to celebrate the 30th birthday of Prince William

Following the life of the future king, this guide covers his early days in the care of his mother, the late Princess Diana; his childhood; and the deep sadness he and his brother, Prince Harry, underwent after his mother's death when he was 15 years old. It looks at William's schooldays and time spent at university before he settled, in the best royal tradition, on a career in the armed forces. Highlights include his many achievements in the military, including, most recently, his training and career as a helicopter pilot with the RAF's Search and Rescue Force. It also celebrates the Duke of Cambridge's wedding in April 2011 to Kate Middleton, now Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. This is the story of a future king who, with Catherine at his side, is the image of a thoroughly modern royal.
