This book discusses the courtship and marriage of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburg and Queen Elizabeth II. The issue of people thinking that he was not an acceptable match for her is raised in this book, though both of them were royals in their own right...and related through Queen Victoria. The author of this book personally knew Prince Philip, and was able to get direct quotes and information from him. I would like to say that I sympathize the hardship of being married to someone who is a reining monarch, but I found him to be exceptionally dislikeable as a person. The book was an alright book to read, however.
