Growing Up Royal: Life in the Shadow of the British Throne
Grade 4-7-This book is an overview, and thus contains more trivia  than biography. Through information gleaned mainly from magazine  and newspaper accounts, Billinghurst describes everyday life,  relationships with servants, responsibilities, etiquette, and  more, and conveys the reality that being born a prince or  princess is more about being a good public figure than about  fun, frolic, and having it all. Though the book revolves mainly  around contemporary British royals, with colorful photos  primarily of Prince William and Prince Harry at different ages,  information on other royals is included. The sidebars on various  aspects of royal life, the author's note, and the extensive  index are helpful additions.
