Charles: The Heart of a King

Mehr zum Buch

He has lived his entire life in the public eye, yet remains an enigma. Born to be king, he aspires for more. This landmark publication reveals the complexity of Prince Charles: his passionate views that prevent him from being as remote as his mother, and his drive to make a difference in startling ways. The book provides fresh insights into his defining first marriage and his relationship with Camilla, whom he affectionately calls his 'dearest wife.' Readers will see Charles as both a father and a friend, a serious figure and a joker, navigating a court filled with hidden dangers and unexpected comedy. Poignant, funny, and often surprising, this significant study of the Prince in over a decade portrays a man on the brink of happiness yet still burdened by anguish and a remarkable belief system. He is depicted as a charitable entrepreneur, activist, and a figure who both embodies and challenges the Establishment. Based on numerous interviews with friends, courtiers, palace insiders, and critics, along with access to Charles himself during over a year of research, this biography delves into his philanthropy, interventionism, faith, political leanings, and the philosophy that sometimes leads to controversy in his quest for harmony.
