unfortunately i found the narrator’s voice to be monotonous and boring. which slightly disappointed my listening enjoyment

lovely book

it's extremely complementary to Kate I found the constant compliments towards her appearance "she's beautiful"," perfect Kate" eye rolling. Seriously the the way the author constantly makes a point of focusing on Kate's appearance was borderline sexist in my view. I'm not interested in my future Queen's appearance I'm interested in her mind.

I don't feel after listening to this book that I am any more knowledgeable about Kate as a person or even her relationship with William.
the best way I can some this book up is that it's really a compilation of Daily Mail articles put together.

But if you like that sort of thing and are interested in iBritish culture then I think this book will be an enjoyable read. For me it was a bit of a on the boring side

If you are a royal fan you'll love it.

Any additional comments?

Nice story but totally aimed at America...with dollars, and american seasons, nothing new to be learnt. Story built around quotes, but the reality is those in the true inner circle of The Duchess and her family would not be giving the quotes disappointing.

Nothing new so American!

This book was written by one of The Daily Mail's royal correspondents, Katie Nicholl for the US market, hence why any amount of money is expressed in dollars rather than British pounds . Although it starts off being rather unctuous, saccharine and cloying, it isn't quite as sycophantic as it seems. I particularly enjoyed hearing about Kate's mother, Carole Middleton's quest for advancement and Uncle Gary Goldsmith's indiscretions at his Ibizan villa, 'Le Maison De Bang Bang'.

The narrator was fine. I'm fairly sure that she misprounounced Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall's daughter's surname though.
