Charles iii siblings

I thoroughly enjoyed this book when I read it in paperback a number of years ago. Jonathan Dimbleby did an absolute stellar job in both its creation and how he detailed this very complex life of a man born to the English throne. Not only was it respectful in its often candid revelation, but gave insight into The Prince of Wales' strengths, weaknesses and introspective.

In particular, the work that Charles took over from his beloved uncle, Lord Mountbatten and how what might otherwise have seemed like a non-starter charity evolved under his direction, is one of the most admirable and respectable acts of hands-on involvement I've ever known. Few people know about the real Charles and what he does for inner city children, affording them the opportunity in life.

Amazing.

To be invited as guest of honour at an architects' convention and expected to stand up and praise their work, it takes real guts to do what he did in public; slam them for the atrocities that were going up all over London, comparing them to the works of Christopher Wren and other great architects.

It details his early love affair with Camilla, his surprising strengths of a naval officer at a time when he'd wanted to ask her to marry him but couldn't ask her to be part of what he called`The Firm', for he couldn't imagine anyone in their right mind wanting to take on the role, but on deciding to ask for her hand on his return from a naval assignment in Australia, found her already engaged.

The admiration his colleagues had for a man who entered that position with a self-confessed lack of confidence was entirely evident, as was his introspective, suggestive of how he feels about the throne and what he will not say at his own coronation. It's a very long book and so I couldn't possibly detail everything here, but covers many aspects of his personality, good and bad, his spirituality even, that perhaps goes against that of the Church of England.

A loyal man, to his birthright and his family, even if he was forced by his father into a marriage to produce an heir; it gives a classy account of just how he felt about that whole affair - no pun intended - the reasoning that he attempted, what Mr Dimbleby describes towards a petulant and moody immature youth that was Diana.

Whenever I hear people slag Charles off, I am quick to defend The Prince of Wales, for I feel they know not of what they speak, Diana was a lovely young woman, yes, I've read her biography too, and other books, but the pair were mismatched from the get go and I can't help but feel because of her beauty and youth and all of the interviews, that people are too quick to judge Charles based on their otherwise Hollywood view of her.

Simply, I found the book fascinating and couldn't put it down. Highly recommended.
