Description
Still coming to terms with his mother’s death, Prince William resumes school at Eton just three days after her funeral. He wants things to return to normal as quickly as possible - but rapidly discovers his life has changed in more ways than one. Among the letters of sympathy arriving by the sackload from members of the public are adoring letters from teenage girls - evidence of his growing status as a reluctant heartthrob. The attention grows as William is requested to attend a series of official engagements.
