Recently, I’ve been given the opportunity to review a new book called, The Golden Prince by Rebecca Dean. I’m so excited! :-) This is a very timely book to read since we’ve recently been given the great news that Prince William will be marrying Kate Middleton in the spring of next year. Love is definitely in the air!
It’s very refreshing that Prince William is being given the chance to marry the girl that he loves and is not encumbered by the constraints of having to marry someone from an aristocratic background. It was so very different in the past.
The Golden Prince gives us a peek into that world of the past. The author Rebecca Dean, melds fact with fiction to explore the poignant situation of Prince Edward when, as a very young man, was denied personal happiness by not being allowed to marry the commoner he loved.
Oh how Edward would have envied his great grand-nephew William. And how different British history would have been if Edward, like William, had been given permission to marry the girl he gave his heart to as a young, idealistic prince.
I’m currently reading the book and will share my review of it soon. So please watch this space for my take on this exciting new book! It promises to be a cold weekend around where we live, so I think it will be the perfect time to snuggle up with a good book to read. :-)
And hey, if you’d like to get your own copy and race me to the finish, click here to pick up yours ;-)
