    THE GOLDEN PRINCE. A Royal Engagement that was not meant to be

As William and Kate prepare to marry, read The Golden Prince, the thwarted love story of William’s great grand uncle Prince Edward and Rosemary Leveson-Gower : the woman he really wanted to marry years before he met Wallis Simpson.


It is 1917 and Edward, Prince of Wales truly seems to be The Golden Prince. Popular with the public, adored at Court, witty and sporty: he is the most photographed celebrity of the age and has the world at his feet.

Until, that is, he falls for a peer’s daughter Rosemary Leveson-Gower and decides to marry her. It is then that he comes face to face with the iron will of his parents, the stern disciplinarians George V and Queen Mary. They do not want him, as future Monarch, to choose Rosemary for his bride because she is a commoner, and this broke the cardinal rule of royalty only marrying royalty.

As we all know, Edward’s great grand nephew, Prince William, has just announced his engagement to Kate Middleton. Just under a hundred years ago, in the time of George V, this would have been unthinkable, as Kate is a commoner and would never be considered suitable as a Queen. THE GOLDEN PRINCE, the latest novel by best selling Romantic novelist Rebecca Dean, is a poignant contrast to the happiness and public acceptance of William and Kate’s betrothal.

Rebecca Dean is a pen-name of best-selling novelist Margaret Pemberton. Married and with five adult children she is a former chairwoman of the Romantic Novelists' Association and lives in Whitstable Kent. THE GOLDEN PRINCE is her thirty-sixth novel and was born out of her fascination with the multi-layered character of Edward V111.
