A US publisher is to produce a comic book about the romance of Britain's Prince William and his fiancee Kate Middleton, timed to mark their upcoming wedding.
"Fame: The Royals" is described as a behind-the-curtain look at the royal couple, who are to wed in London's Westminster Abbey on April 29.
The comic will contain information on Prince William's schooling and time with Princess Diana.
"As Americans, we are fascinated by the British royals. They fit within our construct of a celebrity-fueled popular culture," said Darren Davis, president of publisher Bluewater Productions, based in Washington state.
"But more than, that they represent an air of pomp and history that we just don't have," he added.
The comic book, to be published in April in time for the royal wedding, recounts William's early childhood, his mother Princess Diana's death, his schooling and military career, as well as his romance with Middleton.
Also this week a US TV producer announced the casting of a relatively unknown British actress to play Middleton in a television film about the royal romance.
Camilla Luddington, will play Middleton in 'William and Kate,' planned by US television network Lifetime in time for April.
