The Royal Family then faced a double blow in early 2024 when the King and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, were diagnosed with cancer. By the end of the year, the King had returned to regular duties, dealing with a new government at home and diplomatic turmoil abroad. As head of state of fifteen nations, he would soon find himself caught up in the new and uncertain world order taking shape following the election of President Trump.The dramatic story is uncovered here, along with the vital role played by Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Princess Royal and others. From the emotional days following the death of Elizabeth II and the truth about the King's relationship with Prince William and Prince Harry to his handling of Prince Andrew, Hardman takes us behind the pomp and ceremony to reveal Charles the man as well as the monarch.Authoritative and richly insightful, Charles III is the definitive account of a king determined to maximize 'the time God grants me' - and enjoy it.'This glorious book reveals the real Charles III. Hardman's magisterial biography, full of detail about the King, the Queen and the Sussexes alike, will become a historical document' - Simon Heffer, The Telegraph
