"A colorful, fascinating look at growing up in the royal family over the centuries, from the Plantagenets and Tudors to the Windsors and Cambridges. Gilded Youth looks at centuries of growing up aristocratic and royal--from Edward VII smashing up his schoolroom to Prince Andrew peeing on a stable lad's shoes; from Princess Margaret putting horse manure in a footman's pockets to Diana Spencer wearing crop tops, kissing a local village boy, and drinking cider in a bus shelter; from a teenage Prince Harry throwing up in the street to Prince William becoming completely obsessed with doing the right thing regardless of the feelings of his younger brother."--
