KENILWORTH BOOKS PRESENTS PENNY JUNOR

Tuesday 15th May 7:00pm - Holiday Inn - Ticket Price £6.00

‘Prince William’ is a wide-ranging and fascinating biography of this intensely private man and a glimpse into his world and the impact that his traumatic childhood and adolescence have had on him. The talk, by famous royal biographer, Penny Junor, will look at how he sees the future and the kind of monarch he might be and how he will contribute to the society that ‘keeps’ him.

Penny Junor has had access to a wealth of material and the biography has been eagerly anticipated. It will include fascinating new anecdotes and stories of the Prince growing up, about his university years, his life in the military and his emergence as a fully-fledged working member of the family firm. Penny has also had unprecedented access to the Prince’s household and drawn on her experience and contacts built up in over thirty years of writing royal biographies. Key to this man, and to his future, is his relationship with the media. This has played a major part in his psyche since childhood and the biography looks at this at length. The other important relationships in his life: with his mother, his father, the Queen, his brother Harry, and of course, Kate and the Middleton family, are also examined at length and given psychological analysis.

William is a highly complex and fascinating character who accepts the future that fate has mapped out for him but who is determined to remain in control of his life. He is a born leader with very firm views on how he might use his position for the good of the world. And he will lead with Harry by his side. They are a formidable duo and, according to Penny, as delightful, charming, funny, and unpretentious a pair as you could hope to meet. Kate herself has, of course, brought a new dimension to the relationship that is proving successful and popular around the world.

Penny Junor Penny Junor is a distinguished expert on the Royal Family and a trusted biographer, whose books about both the Prince and Princess of Wales, including ‘Charles: Victim or Villain?’, the controversial biography that challenged Diana’s version of her marriage, have established Penny’s reputation. She is a determined and perceptive writer and her drive to find out exactly who is William Wales – what drives and tempers him – will result in the first in-depth portrait of our future king.
