The Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller 'Breathtaking' The Times '[The
book that] made headlines around the world.' Independent The former
Prince of Wales has lived his whole life in the public eye, yet he
remains an enigma. He was born to be king, but he aims much higher.
A landmark publication, Charles: The Heart of a King reveals Prince
Charles in all his complexity: the passionate views that mean he
will never be as remote and impartial as his mother; the compulsion
to make a difference and the many and startling ways in which the
Prince and now King of the United Kingdom and fifteen other realms
has already made his mark. The book offers fresh and fascinating
insights into the first marriage that did so much to define him and
an assessment of his relationship with the woman he calls, with
unintended accuracy, his 'dearest wife': Camilla, now Queen
Consort. We see Charles as a father and a friend, a serious figure
and a joker. Life at court turns out to be full of hidden dangers
and unexpected comedy. Now, updated and revised with a new preface
and two new chapters - covering details of Harry and Meghan's exit
and its implications, the cash-for-honours scandal, Prince Andrew,
and more - this significant study reveals a monarchy threatened and
a man in sight of happiness yet still driven by anguish and a
remarkable belief system, a charitable entrepreneur, activist,
agitator and avatar of the Establishment who just as often tilts
against it. Based on multiple interviews with his friends and
courtiers, palace insiders and critics, and rare access to Charles
himself, before his kingship, this biography explores the Prince's
philanthropy and his compulsive interventionism, his faith, his
significant impact on politics and the philosophy that means when
he seeks harmony he sometimes creates controversy. Gripping, at
times astonishing, often laugh-out-loud, this is a royal biography
unlike any other. 'A must-read ... this important book is nothing
short of a manual to our future King's world-view' GQ 'A sustained
piece of higher journalism' Independent
