About this deal

Despite the fact that the book is not very innovative, it gives a good picture of both the man he is now and what made him that man. The book is simple, by which I mean easy to read and concise, but on the other hand it also looks extensive. On the day of the funeral, The Prince of Wales accompanied his two sons, Prince William, aged 15 and Prince Harry, aged 12 at the time, as they walked behind the coffin from The Mall to Westminster Abbey. With them were The Duke of Edinburgh and The Princess's brother, Earl Spencer. Charles is a Greek, a Scot, and related to Dracula. He loves whichever country he is in. He is so amazing he even knows how much water to drink. (I'm not making this up). His divorce wasn't his fault at all, he was almost blameless, and Dianna told lies. King Charles and Camilla are driving at night when he runs over a rabbit. He stops to look at the flattened bunny when a leprehaun appears offering Charles a wish.

Reflecting on what made Britain “so special”, he said the nation could draw on “deep wells” including “the breathing space we afford one another.” On 9 December 1992, The Prime Minister, John Major, announced to the House of Commons that The Prince and Princess of Wales had agreed to separate. The marriage was dissolved on 28 August 1996. The Princess was still regarded as a member of the Royal Family. She continued to live at Kensington Palace and to carry out her public work for a number of charities. His Majesty The King is a strong supporter of the Armed Services and saw them as one of the most important parts of his role as Heir to The Throne. The Prince of Wales’s relationship with the Armed Services consisted of three main activities:As the world prepares for Scobie's book to hit book shelves, French publication Paris Match have shared more extracts. Another excerpt from the book claims that Meghan "never wants to set foot" in the United Kingdom again, with her having "never felt at home" while she was here. The red-faced monarch remarked "Oh gracious!" as Baroness Louise Casey, who is helping to create his Coronation Food Project, asked whether he minded if guests serenade him. The King looked bashful as everyone joined in - including his wife who also clapped loudly at the end. "We are beyond delighted about it. It is such an honour for us and support for the project just wouldn't have happened without you. We are incredibly grateful to you," Baroness Casey added. In keeping with the breathless, Sylvie Krin tone of the book – which includes all the members of the Royal family being referred to by their Christian names, with the exception of the late Queen, whose legend demands she receive a unique act of reverence – Jobson does perpetrate some absurdities. He says of the effect the then-Camilla Shand had on her young suitor: “Her sexual energy excited the rather naïve Prince like no-one else previously.” How does he know? Did the King broadcast such a feeling? Did he tell his present wife, and has she broadcast it? One rather doubts that either could be true; yet one feels confident that this expert didn’t make it up, because experts don’t. Doubtless another expert told him. It is not known whether the queen knew the previous owners of the Edinburgh house – a physician and his wife – before it was donated to her in 1953. It seems unlikely as the queen was only seven when the physician died and his widow then moved to Canada. Certainly, the house was treated as an official gift when it was put into the government’s control in 1954.

There’s nothing incredibly revelatory about this book for anyone that’s read anything about Charles in the past. However, with the gift of hindsight, many of the incidents leading up to his ascension to the throne are seen with new perspective. His strengths and weaknesses are catalogued, and his first decisions and duties as king are explored. He also sees himself, as head of state, of being a symbol of continuity and stability, said sources. The political turbulence of the early days of his reign saw him no sooner having his first meeting with one prime minster than he was on to his second. Highlighting achievements or issues that, without his support might otherwise receive little exposure;

The building needed significant upgrading work. There was a long debate involving civil servants and the keeper of the privy purse, the official in charge of the monarch’s finances, about whether the government should meet those costs if the property was about to be given to the royal household. As I noted in my review of https://bargain-sleuth.com/2023/04/27... a few weeks ago, Robert Jobson is a royal historian who has very strong opinions on what makes a good biography. The ability to interview one’s subject is one criteria, and as The Sunday Times royal correspondent, Jobson has had the opportunity to interview King Charles more than once over the years. This does not make him an expert by any means, but it does mean that some quotes directly attributed to the new King came directly from conversations with the author. The Coronation Food Project was inspired and devised by the King who has long been concerned about waste, particularly when it comes to food and the cost of living crisis. More than 12 million tonnes of food is wasted each year in the UK alone. The project will work with - and crucially raise funds for - existing food waste projects around the country to save and circulate more surplus food and use it for social good. Stop me if you've heard this one before, I just heard it very recently, like after I'd already posted this review: I'm glad he's not my new king. It's 2022, people. Shouldn't we be finished with monarchies? Why do we insist on allowing inbred half-wits to have the status of royalty?
