Prince Edward: A Life in the Spotlight by Paul James
Published as he approaches his 30th birthday, this biography chronicles Prince Edward's far-from-ordinary life. It considers the two sides of his career - as Edward Windsor, potential theatrical impressario, and as working prince with duties and obligations. The book looks at his struggle for individuality, his love of the theatre, his career in the Marines, his time with Andrew Lloyd Webber's Really Useful company, his relationships with family and friends, his dealings with the Press, his little-known romances and the difficult decisions that lie ahead for the Queen's youngest son. The author's many other books include biographies of the Princess Royal, the Princess of Wales, Princess Margaret and Princess Alexandra.
