King Charles III: Celebrating His Majesty's Coronation and Reign (History's Great Leaders)

Product Information

This is a comprehensive book of Charles III that is largely sympathetic to the king. There are a few chestnuts of information that I don’t believe I’ve seen in print anywhere, and I’m not going to spoil it for you beyond the teddy bear revelation if you’re interested. Diana does not come off well, and Camilla is seen more sympathetically than in some of the other books I’ve read or listened to in recent memory. I’m still on the fence about Camilla. I adored Diana growing up, and I’m sympathetic to the mental health challenges she had, but I’m also sympathetic to Camilla, who was deemed to have a past and therefore unmarriageable to the future king. As a Catholic, I’m still disappointed in the adultery, but after this amount of time, I also realize there’s only one whose judgment they need to worry about when they meet their maker and it certainly isn’t me. And from what I’ve seen, Queen Consort Camilla has worked her ass off since 2005 to be accepted by the British people and is doing a bang-up job. How long does one have to pay for past mistakes? Exactly. Those who still call her the rottweiler are unkind and unforgiving, and I for one, have a forgiving heart. I thought this was incredibly well written. It was filled with interesting information. And most importantly, in my opinion, it felt like getting to know the real Charles. The book felt like it wasn’t trying to paint Charles as perfect or a villain. He is a man who has been born into a very rare life, he is a mama that dealt with very upsetting things as a child at school, he made some bad decisions, he seems like he tried hard as a dad and as a grandparent, and this book shows Charles as both human and a king.

A Countrywoman's Notes. Rosemary Verey. London: Frances Lincoln (1993). Miniature edition, ISBN 978-0-7112-0888-9.

I found Charles III to be a character who does not engender sympathy by me. He's a spoiled, entitled, unfailthful man who only wants what he wants and he wants it now. Once he got rid of his wife, Diana, and was able to marry Camilla, he pretty much lost interest in his boys and only cares what he looks like to the country and how they will treat him once he becomes King. Heaven help the British people now....the country would be better off with William as the King - with Charles being 74 already, that won't be very long.I’ve been listening to a lot of royal biographies since this summer’s Platinum Jubilee for Queen Elizabeth II but haven’t reviewed them, mainly because the bulk of them are just a rehash of old information portrayed in a new way. The King: The Life of Charles III is the first biography issued of the new king since ascending to the throne upon the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth. I am pretty sure this book was written not long before the Queen died and was sitting on a shelf waiting for the day it happened.

Maybe, if you believe that Charles travels the world with his childhood teddy bear, lovingly patched and repaired over the years by the staff. Listen, I’ve been following the royal family since 1977, when I was four years old, and sometimes I have to say, who cares? I mean, if the story is true, so what? I have a quilt my grandmother made me when I went away to college in 1991 and still use it to this day. So no scandalous revelations in this book.

I feel like I’ve learned so much about his life! My goodness. What I knew about Charles before reading this book barely scratched the surface of his life.
