I’ve read plenty about Queen Elizabeth II, I even read Prince Harry’s book, but I’ve never read anything devoted to Charles before now. I was intrigued when I saw the book and had to have it.Is there anything new? 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. As we all know, the scandalous stuff has come out in spades decades ago. I have put off reviewing/rating this book for a couple of days since I am just not sure how to approach it. Let me initially say that is was interesting, although there were a couple of mistakes in the narrative (use of names,titles) which should have been caught by proofreaders/editors, Secondly, there wasn't much new information in it for readers who are familiar with the monarchy of the modern times; however, the author expands on some of that information which makes for revelatory reading. It could have fallen into the category of "gossipy" but I didn't get that impression and felt it was fact based. Highgrove: An Experiment in Organic Gardening and Farming.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Christopher Andersen comes a vivid and unsparing yet sympathetic portrait of one of the most complex and enigmatic figures of our time: Charles, who has taken his place on the throne after being the oldest and longest-serving heir in British history. I got this from the library. I was hoping to read things I didn’t know, but it’s truly just a mashup of all of Andersen’s older books and much stolen from other authors. HRH Prince Charles (15 September 2021). "Prince Charles teams up with Jamie Oliver and Jimmy Doherty in war on food waste". Daily Mirror. 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. A Countrywoman's Notes. Rosemary Verey. London: Frances Lincoln (1993).

HRH The Prince of Wales (10 November 2018). "How Britain's rich craft heritage is the key to our future". The Telegraph. The Cancer Prevention Book: Holistic Guidelines From the World-Famous Bristol Cancer Help Centre. Rosy Daniel and Rachel Ellis. Hunter House Publishers (2002). Hardcover: ISBN 0-89793-361-3.The King examines the private life of this historically important and controversial figure, set against the grand, thousand-year sweep of the British monarchy. This richly detailed biography covers it all, from his military training to his marriage to Lady Diana, through their separation and her tragic death to his marriage to Camilla Parker Bowles. In the process, it provides a balanced but fully honest look into the life of the new monarch. This book will tell you what the King—a man who has remained something of an enigma, shrouded in speculation and intrigue—is really like. We see the life of HRH Charles III, when he was still the Prince of Wales, up until the day that his mother, HRH Elizabeth II passed away and he become King. I agree with another reviewer who said that this book must have been written and ready to be released for some time before the Queen's death. When the first edition of the Ladybird Expert book on Climate Change was published in 2017, CO2 levels in the atmosphere were 405 parts per million (ppm), now they are 420 ppm. As a consequence, the impacts of climate change are becoming worse and we saw temperatures reach an incredible 40C in the UK last summer. The Builder Illustrations Index 1843–1883.

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. Illustrated by Sir Hugh Casson, it is a story of an old man who lived in a cave in the cliffs near the corrie loch, Lochnagar-- a mountain that overlooks theroyal family's Balmoral Castle in Scotland. Interestingly, King Charles III had earlier told this story to his younger brothers, Andrew and Edward, in their childhood and he later got it published.HRH The Prince of Wales (4 January 2022).
