*1986 *Dust Jacket has wear In Private - In Public, produced in co-operation with Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Wales, begins where all other royal books stop: behind the scenes. The reader is invited to join the Prince and Princess at Highgrove, their country house, as they relax with their children during a rare break from their official duties. We join them, and their staff, 'at the office' as they organize their many engagements and tours. We travel with them and their entourage to Australia, the United States, Japan, Canada and Austria, giving an insider's view of just how a royal tour works. Alastair Burnet and photographer Tim Graham have been allowed unprecedented access to Their Royal Highnesses for nearly a year resulting in a unique, 'fly-on-the-wall' look at their lives. Indeed the aim of the book is to show what it is like to be the Prince and Princess of Wales. In his text, which includes many exclusive quotes, Alastair Burnet describes a young couple whose lives are an endless round of official duties, charitable work and public engagements. But even a busy schedule has some breaks and it is these occasions that the Prince and Princess, like any other young parents, devote to their children. Prince William and Prince Henry are seen in this book as bright and energetic young boys who take great joy in cavorting with their parents on the lawns at Highgrove, hardly aware of the responsibilities that lie ahead of them. In Private - In Public contains 200 colour photographs exclusive to this book. Leading royal photographer Tim Graham has been able to portray the Prince and Princess and their children as they have never been seen before - at home and abroad; at work and at play. All in all, Alastair Burnet's text and Tim Graham's photographs present a picture of the Prince and Princess of Wales which their millions of admirers around the world will treasure for years to come.
