The Making of a Royal Romance by Katie Nicholl

I have a secret, , long-standing secret that I've never told anyone, but if you know me well, this wont be news to you! Its not that I'm ashamed of it, I'm just very sensitive to criticism, especially from people I don't particularly know or care about! Story of my life!! But this blog is my space and if I cant be true to myself here, then where else? So without further ado, presenting to you `le secrète`:

.

I'm fascinated by the lives of CELEBRITIES. Yes, its true!All of the glamor, drama & all things related enthrall me. In fact, People is among the first websites I open every morning!!!

And IMHO,  looking beyond the regular celebs like movie stars, musicians & such are the Royals, the ultimate celebrities, you know, like actual royalty!

 

So, this book was an obvious pick for me (The Diana Chronicles has been on my wishlist for a long long time). It was not that great, though not as much drama as I expected.

Most of the book is focused on both the princes as boys and their years in school.
I found the book to be too sympathetic to the royal family. Like the poor children had no privacy, divorced parents, etc. I agree these are valid issues, but when you look at the bigger picture, all these things look so silly. Like how much does privacy matter when you don't have a house to call your own! I know it sounds harsh, but I'm just sharing some of the thoughts I had while reading the book.

However I was happy to learn about all the charities being supported by them.

There's not much of a love story here, which was the main reason I picked up the book. So all in all, a disappointment, though I shouldn't have expected much in the first place!
