Summary:
"Sally Bedell Smith gives us a new look at Prince Charles, the oldest heir to the throne in more than three hundred years. The product of four years of research and hundreds of interviews with palace officials, former girlfriends and spiritual gurus is the first treatment of Charles's life that sheds light on the death of Diana, his marriage to Camilla, and his preparations to take the throne one day. The real man, with all of his ambitions, insecurities, and convictions. It begins with his lonely childhood, in which he struggled to live up to his father's expectations and sought companionship from the Queen Mother and his great-uncle Lord Mountbatten. It follows him through difficult years at school, his early love affairs, his intellectual quests, his entrepreneurial pursuits, and his intense search for spiritual meaning. It tells of the tragedy of his marriage to Diana; his eventual reunion with his true love, Camilla; and his relationships with William, Kate, Harry, and his grandchildren. From his glamorous palaces to his country homes, from his globe-trotting travels to his local initiatives, Smith shows how Prince Charles possesses a fiercely independent spirit and yet has spent more than six decades waiting for his destined role, living a life dictated by protocols he often struggles to obey. Smith lays bare the contradictions of a man who is more complicated, tragic, and compelling than we knew, until now. Sally Bedell Smith is the author of biographies of Queen Elizabeth II; Diana, Princess of Wales; John and Jacqueline Kennedy; and Bill and Hillary Clinton"--Provided by publisher.
