PRINCE CHARLES
The Passions and Paradoxes of an Improbable Life
"Prince Charles is an 18th century gentleman with a 21st century mission ... Smith captures his contradictions and his convictions in this fascinating book that is not just about a man who would be king but also about the duties that come with privilege." -- Walter Isaacson
A book that connects the dots and explains the Prince of Wales in a new way.
A book that connects the dots and explains the Prince of Wales in a new way.
This is an unprecedented in-depth look at Prince Charles: the real man, with all of his contradictions, complexities, and ambitions. Beginning with his lonely childhood, and moving through his many love affairs, his intellectual quests, his entrepreneurial pursuits, the tragedy of his marriage to Diana, and his eventual reunion with his true love Camilla--this is a riveting, insightful portrait of a man who possesses a fiercely independent spirit, and yet who has spent his life in waiting for the ultimate role. Smith writes of the women who loved him, including Camilla, and the women who didn't love him enough, including his mother, and Diana; and she writes of the next generation of royals, including the beloved Will, Kate, Harry, and his grandchildren. Sally Bedell Smith has created a surprising, multifaceted portrait of Charles and his world--a man more complicated, tragic, and compelling than we knew, until now.
Although there is no big "platform" for PRINCE CHARLES on the order of the Diamond Jubilee, there will be a news peg, as 2017 will mark the 20th anniversary of Diana's death, which will stir up a lot of interest in Charles. There is plenty of fresh information about Camilla and her relationship with Charles.
Sally Bedell Smith has done hundreds of interviews with close friends and advisors of Prince Charles. She has met members of the Royal Family in person many times, in locations around the world, and traveled extensively to research this book. Those interviewed include Palace officials, former girlfriends, spiritual gurus, First Ladies, military officials, and more--many of them speaking for the very first time. Smith has turned up many surprising details about Charles's life.
