Kate's gum-chewing leads to true love with Prince Will. -- LA Times A fun book filled with great characters, including corgis. This one will have your kids asking for it to be read over and over. -- Mom-Spot The pages of Bubblegum Princess are beautifully illustrated with bright colors and detailed portraits. My daughter immediately requested I read her "Bubblegum Princess" again. -- The Royal Baby Blog About the Book A modern day fairytale inspired by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Young lady Katy delights in blowing bubblegum bubbles, a decidedly unladylike habit. Despite opposition, she teaches the kingdom to love bubblegum bubbles as much as she does. Katy, a lively, intelligent, and strong Âwilled heroine, embarks on an adventure filled with royals, the queen's favorite dogs:ÂÂ corgis, and tons of bubblegum. A disclaimer worthy of note: Neither HRH Queen Elizabeth II, her corgis, nor any individual associated with the British Royal Family has authorized, sponsored, or otherwise approved of this thoroughly, totally, utterly, and quite unequivocally unauthorized book.
