The Anglo-Saxons believed that Wessex was founded by Cerdic and Cynric, but this may be a legend.

On his wedding day, Prince Edward was created Earl of Wessex with the subsidiary title of Viscount Severn, breaking from a tradition whereby sons of the sovereign were created royal dukes. The Earl of Wessex would not automatically succeed his father, as titles are passed to the eldest son; hence, the Prince of Wales would succeed the present Duke. Once the Prince of Wales succeeds to the throne, any titles he has inherited from his father will merge with the Crown, and he will be free to re-create the Dukedom of Edinburgh.

However, Prince Edward was not always interested in attending to royal duties and was once into theatre and documentary production. Even though Prince Edward holds the title of Earl of Wessex, he will eventually take over the title of Duke of Edinburgh.

This gorgeous coffee-table volume is the outgrowth of a TV series created by the most artistic of the HRHs. While the book has certain problems, it's nevertheless easy to lose a whole Sunday engrossed in its beautiful photography and anecdotal history. From the Saxon kings on, London and the monarchy have had a very close relationship -- though not always a friendly one. Edward's goal here is to explore the physical remnants of that relationship, from the assortment of present and past palaces (not only Buckingham Palace, but Hatfield House, Whitehall, Westminster, Kensington, Hampton Court, and many more), other structures assorted with the Sovereign (the Tower, Blackheath, St. Paul's, Kingston-upon-Thames, etc), and, naturally, the River Thames itself. The problem is, whoever the principal editor was (probably not Edward himself) didn't do a very careful job. Often the same descriptive sentences are repeated in the text, then in the sidebar in the same spread, and then often in the photo captions as well. (One would think there would be plenty of other nonrepetitive things to say.) There are also an unsettling number of awkwardnesses and infelicities which lead the reader to stumble. Often the capsule history of a location jumps around chronologically, causing one to say, "Wait -- what?" Finally, the fact-checking is rather sloppy for a royal who took his degree in history: Christopher Wren did not use "dynamite" to demolish the ruins of Old St. Paul's after the Great Fire, . . . dynamite having not been invented until the 19th century by Alfred Nobel. Still, it's a lovely book.
