Now, as the Prince turns forty, Holden has produced a completely new work, as intimate and incisive as the first, but updated to reflect the man that Charles has become. " " King Charles III depicts a prince determined to know his people and the world in which they live. With the same awareness and understanding he brought to his earlier biography of Charles, Holden examines the events of {those} past nine years in the Prince's life, including his activities in such diverse areas as housing and agricultural reform, employment and the inner city, and, not least, his new role as husband and father. " " With his unique access, authority, and insight, no one is better qualified than Anthony Holden to go behind the scenes at Buckingham Palace, giving us a firsthand account of Charles's life with Diana, his sons, William and Harry, and the rest of an imposing royal family.
