William

As the boy prince turns into the man who would be king, interest in Prince William is at an unprecedented height in 2003, the year of his twenty-first birthday. Seen as the vital link between the traditions of the Royal Family and the more populist, modern approach of his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, William has become an icon and pin-up as well as the future of the monarchy.

This pictorial celebration features hundreds of photographs of William at work and at play by Tim Graham, the foremost photographer in this field. These beautiful photographs are accompanied by a unique insight into William's life by Peter Archer, the only journalist to interview the prince and be accredited to Buckingham Palace and St James's Palace.

Elegant and revealing, William is not just a landmark in royal publishing but a beautiful celebration of this special year in the prince's life.

TIM GRAHAM has specialised in photographing the Royal Family for more than 30 years. Best known for his pictures of the Prince and Princess of Wales and their sons, he was granted exclusive behind-the-scenes access to photograph their private family life as well as their official role. The Princess chose Graham's pictures for the Christie's catalogue and Dresses auction and the palace also turned to Graham for photographs for the stamps used to mark the eighteenth birthday of Prince William. PETER ARCHER is the official Court Correspondent at Buckingham Palace - a role only ever granted to one individual at any time and unlike the other 'royal correspondents' he is the only journalist given day-to-day access to the Royal Court and unlimited access to the Royal Archive. He has held this unique post for nine years and is now one of the Press Association's longest-serving royal specialists. Peter has also scooped two interviews with Prince William to mark the Prince's 16th and 18th birthdays.
