An exhaustive and revealing new biography of Britain's future king with fresh reporting by the journalist the Wall Street Journal dubbed "the Godfather of royal reporting." With exclusive interviews and extensive research,
King Charles delivers definitive insight into the extraordinary life of His Royal
Highness, the Prince of Wales, as he nears the throne at a watershed
moment in modern history and in the British monarchy.
New York Times bestselling author Robert Jobson debunks the myths
about the man who will be king, going beyond banal, bogus media
caricatures of Charles to tell his true story. Jobson--who has spent
nearly thirty years chronicling the House of Windsor, and has met Prince
Charles on countless occasions--received unprecedented cooperation from
Clarence House, the Prince's office, in writing this illuminating
biography.
King Charles divulges the full range of the Prince's profoundly
held political beliefs: the United Kingdom's special relationship to the
United States, climate change, Brexit, and immigration--to ultimately
portray the kind of monarch Charles III will be. Jobson taps a number of
sources close to the Prince who have never spoken on the record before,
plus members of the Royal Household who have served the Prince during
his decades of public life.
This comprehensive profile also reveals the plans for Charles to serve
as Prince Regent once the Queen turns ninety-five; how at her insistence
he already reads all government briefings; and why he feels it is his
constitutional duty to relay his thoughts to ministers in his
controversial "black spider memos." Moreover,
King Charles reveals the truth about the Prince's deeply loving but occasionally
volatile relationship with his second wife and chief supporter, Camilla.
The result is an intriguing new portrait of a man at last on the cusp of kingship.
