The friend continues:

He originally wanted to get Lewis Carroll’s Through The Looking Glass, which was on sale for £24,000, but decided Winnie-The-Pooh would be more suitable for a first tome.

Robinson Crusoe was William’s favourite book, but Harry loved all things A.A. Milne.

Harry’s bride Meghan Markle is also a big fan of Winnie the Pooh. The Tao of Pooh is one of the books she says changed her life. In her now defunct blog The Tig, Markle said of the quick read, “its refreshing perspective on how to move in the world.” And as she puts it, “Aspects of Taoism told through the characters of ‘Winnie the Pooh’ – I mean, does it get better?”

Louis, who was born April 23, is fifth-in-line to the throne.

For the ceremony, he wore a replica of the dress made for Queen Victoria’s oldest daughter in 1841. It’s the same gown worn by his older siblings, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
