Title: Prince William
Author: John Escott
Publisher: Longman
This book is about the story of the Prince of England, William. He is the son of Princess Diana and Prince Charles. One day he is going to be the king of England. This book tells me about his family, schools, sports and girls. If you are one of the fans of William, you must read this brilliant book about him. I’m sure you will understand more about him after you finish reading it.
The full name of William is William Arthur Philip Louis. He was born in the evening of 21 June 1982 in St. Mary’s hospital in Paddington, London. When he was at his age of three, he started school at Mrs. Mynor’s School in Notting Hill, in London. A policeman accompanies him every day. William studied in 2 more schools; they are the Wetherby School and the Ludgrove School. He made a lot of friends there.
Unfortunately, William had an accident while he was playing golf with his friends at the age of nine. He had a small but important operation on his head. Finally, the operation went well and he was fine.
William had to face another big event in his life when Prince Charles and Princess Diana divorced in August 1996. After that, holidays with his mother and father were never the same for him and his brother, Harry. Their mother took them to the Caribbean to swim in the sea, or ski in Canada or America. However, Charles took them to ski in Klosters, in Switzerland. There was no gathering of the whole family since father and mother had separated.
The most hateful thing for William is that he would be followed by some photographers and reporters when he goes shopping or to school. They are so annoying as they take photographs of William and write stories about his unhappy father and mother.
One day, early in the morning of 31 August 1997, an unexpected car accident took the life of Princess Diana. She was only thirty-six years old at that time. It’s a pity and hurtful for everyone who loves Diana, especially for William. After the accident, there were thousands of flowers near Kensington Palace. Diana is a very good mother. She always teaches William about people, not only those who have no home, but also the sick people. After the death of his mother, William is no longer an innocent boy. He grows up as a young man.
William is always attractive to girls. Girls all want to give flowers and talk to him. William is a dream lover in their heart.
After reading this story about William, I would say it helps me to realize the personality of Prince Will. He has a lot of hobbies, like, driving, skiing, swimming, reading and shooting. He is good at writing and football. Besides, he also likes to go shopping and to the cinema with friends. I really enjoy this book because of several reasons. Firstly, it is easy to understand as there are not so many difficult words. Another reason I enjoy the book is that it is very interesting as there are a lot of pictures about William’s childhood. He was so cute when he was two. I think anyone who loves William would enjoy this book because it’s an integrated description of the Prince of England. Also, I’m sure I will recommend this book to all of my friends.
