King Charles

The Man, the Monarch, and the Future of Britain

About this book

A revealing biography of Britain's future king by a New York Times –bestselling author the Wall Street Journal hails "the Godfather of royal reporting." With exclusive interviews and extensive research, King Charles delivers insight into the life of His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, as he nears the throne at a watershed moment in modern history and in the British monarchy. Author Robert Jobson debunks the myths about the man who will be king, going beyond bogus media caricatures of Charles to tell his true story. Jobson—who has spent nearly thirty years chronicling the House of Windsor, and has met Prince Charles on countless occasions—received unprecedented cooperation from Clarence House, the Prince's office, in writing this biography. King Charles divulges the full range of the Prince's political beliefs: the United Kingdom's special relationship to the United States, climate change, Brexit, and immigration—to ultimately portray the kind of monarch Charles III will be. Jobson taps a number of sources close to the Prince who have never spoken on the record before, plus members of the Royal Household who have served the Prince during his decades of public life. This comprehensive profile also reveals the plans for Charles to serve as Prince Regent once the Queen turns ninety-five; 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 the Prince's relationship with his second wife and chief supporter, Camilla. The result is an intriguing portrait of a man on the cusp of kingship.
