An insightful and authoritative account of the first year of King
Charles’s reign by royal expert and the bestselling author of
Queen of Our Times, Robert Hardman. The death of Queen Elizabeth II
in September 2022 was a moment of profound shock and grief for the
nation. She had been a steadfast presence for seventy years but
now, suddenly, the future of the monarchy rested on the shoulders
of her son, then aged seventy-three. No new monarch had spent
longer preparing for such a day. Charles III faced many challenges,
not least uniting a fractious nation, calls for the end of the
monarchy in several realms and painful family rifts. Like the late
Queen before him, he would need to modernise and adapt – but, in
his case, at speed. Charles III: The Making of a Modern Monarch
will take us behind the scenes of our new King’s reign, from
those very first responses to the death of his mother to the drama
behind his Coronation and a remarkable number of swift but subtle
changes, showing the sort of King he intends to be and how he plans
to leave his mark. It will get to the heart of how the new monarchy
works now as it seeks that vital element – relevance – in a
secular, digital and increasingly angry world. With exclusive
access to new material, to royal events and to those who know the
King – and Queen – better than anyone, this is the definitive
account of a pivotal moment in the Royal Family’s history.
