Synopsis

Explore the firsthand story of nineteen Princes of Wales, and how their lives reflect royal duty, public promise, and the times they lived in.

This non fiction work traces the paths of Wales’s heirs from early medieval legends to the modern era, examining how each prince was shaped by duty, court culture, and global events. Through vivid anecdotes and careful context, it shows how leaders-in-waiting were trained for war, governance, and public life, and how their choices echoed across nations and generations.

• Learn how the Crown’s expectations influenced the education, temperament, and actions of the princes.


• Discover personal moments, lavish politeness, and the public reception that accompanied each era.


• See how historical events and royal personalities intersect to shape legacy and memory.


• Explore a narrative that ties royal life to broader cultural and political shifts.

Ideal for readers of royal history, biographies, and those curious about how heirs to the throne navigate leadership, public service, and family expectations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales is my excuse for writing this book. Some time ago just after the War I began to make a special study of the lives of the Princes of Wales, and I found it a most fascinating subject. It occurred to me that there might be many other people who would be interested in the careers of our Prince spredecessors if they had their stories in a convenient and readable form. I owe most of my information to the fine collection of historical works in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle, and if this volume gives the reader but a fraction of the pleasure which I have derived from compiling it, I shall be more than satisfied. I do not think that the portraits of the Princes have ever been collected and published in a volume before. To many people they will probably be the most interesting part of the book. Eighteen of the twenty are reproduced, by His Majesty sgracious permission, from engravings, prints and photographs in the collection of Royal Portraits in the Windsor Castle Library. I should like to express my gratitude to the Hon. J. W. Fortescue, the King s Librarian, and to Mr. Barry, Chief Assistant Librarian, for their kindness and courtesy. I am indebted to Mr. E. Kemp, Inventory Clerk and Photographer at Windsor Castle, for the trouble and care he has bestowed on the photographic reproductions of the pictures.
