Despite having spent his entire life in the spotlight, he is still a mystery. He was destined to be king from birth, but he has much higher goals. Charles: The Heart of a King, a landmark publication, reveals Prince Charles in all his complexity: the passionate beliefs that prevent him from being as detached and impartial as his mother; the need to make a difference; and the numerous and startling ways in which the heir to the throne of the United Kingdom and fifteen other realms has already left his mark. The book offers fresh and fascinating insights into the first marriage that did so much to define him and an assessment of his relationship with the woman he calls, with unintended accuracy, his 'dearest wife': Camilla. We see Charles as a father and a friend, a serious figure and a joker. Life at court turns out to be full of hidden dangers and unexpected comedy. This important study has been updated and revised with a new preface and two new chapters that cover the details of Harry and Meghan's departure and its ramifications, the cash-for-honors scandal, Prince Andrew, and more. It now shows how the monarchy is in danger and how a man who is close to happiness is still driven by anguish and a remarkable set of beliefs. It also shows how this man is a charitable entrepreneur, activist, agitator, and avatar of the Establishment. Based on multiple interviews with his friends and courtiers, palace insiders and critics, and rare access to Charles himself, this biography explores the Prince's philanthropy and his compulsive interventionism, his faith, his significant impact on politics and the philosophy that means when he seeks harmony he sometimes creates controversy. Gripping, at times astonishing, often laugh-out-loud, this is a royal biography unlike any other.
