About this listen

Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, is destined one day to be king. Determined to serve his country as his grandmother, the queen, has so selflessly done for seven decades, William is the epitome of a loving husband to Catherine and a devoted father to their three children: George, Charlotte and Louis.

In public, William appears calm, balanced and determined. He is passionate about safeguarding the environment and helping to protect species under threat of extinction. The duke and his wife have also worked tirelessly to remove the stigma that continues to mark mental health problems.

In private, however, those close to him say that William, while being a dedicated servant of the Crown can defy his calm family-guy public demeanour.

This is the definitive account—insightful and nuanced—of the life of the Duke of Cambridge as he approaches his milestone birthday. Jobson explores the complex character of the man who will one day reign as King William V. It is the story of the making of a king for our times.

The story of the making of a monarch for the 21st century.

Critic reviews

"A landmark new book." (Daily Mail)

All stars

Narration was so poor and ruined what may have been an interesting bio that provided some new and interesting insights.

Poor narration

I think the author could have better researched some of his information regarding Meghan Markle (like the dish soap story that has since been proven false) instead of repeating earlier falsehoods as fact. There was also a lot of rehashing from his earlier works which felt like a cheat. The original bits of background about William that I was unfamiliar with almost make up for wasting a credit.

Not much new

William was the firstfruit of his mother’s womb. Mankind escaped the madness of the later born male in the line of succession. Just as Princess Diana travailed in labor, so also, William would suffer his life transformation through infancy to being the best promise of the Crown following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Evil and destruction have licked at the heels of humanity throughout history. In our era, our civilization can give support to the greatness leadership can provide. If we fail to do so, and give our ears to men of weakness who only offer tales that will paralyze our efforts to reach the goal of a better future, we will do great damage to the next generation. Will we lift ourselves above evil or falter to venomous imaginations?

Destiny, the Crown
