About this ebook
An exhaustive and revealing biography of Britain's new monarch, King Charles III, 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, former Prince of Wales, as he takes the throne, 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 became king, going beyond banal, bogus media caricatures of Charles to tell his true story. Jobsonâwho has spent nearly thirty years chronicling the House of Windsor, and has met Charles on countless occasionsâreceived unprecedented cooperation from Clarence House, what was the Prince's office, in writing this illuminating biography.
King Charles divulges the full range of Charles's profoundly held political beliefs: the United Kingdom's special relationship to the United States, climate change, Brexit, and immigrationâto ultimately portray the kind of monarch Charles III will be. Jobson taps a number of sources close to the now-King who have never spoken on the record before, plus members of the Royal Household who have served Charles during his decades of public life.
This comprehensive profile also reveals the late Queen Elizabeth's plans to transition Charles to the throne; 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 Charles'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 who at last has become king.
