À propos de cet audio
From the New York Times best-selling author of Elizabeth the Queen comes the first major biography of Prince Charles in more than 20 years - perfect for fans of The Crown.
Sally Bedell Smith returns once again to the British royal family to give us a new look at Prince Charles, the oldest heir to the throne in more than 300 years. This vivid, eye-opening biography - the product of four years of research and hundreds of interviews with palace officials, former girlfriends, spiritual gurus, and more, some speaking on the record for the first time - is the first authoritative treatment of Charles' life that sheds light on the death of Diana, his marriage to Camilla, and his preparations to take the throne one day.
Prince Charles brings to life the real man, with all of his ambitions, insecurities, and convictions. It begins with his lonely childhood, in which he struggled to live up to his father's expectations and sought companionship from the Queen Mother and his great-uncle Lord Mountbatten. It follows him through difficult years at school, his early love affairs, his intellectual quests, his entrepreneurial pursuits, and his intense search for spiritual meaning. It tells of the tragedy of his marriage to Diana; his eventual reunion with his true love, Camilla; and his relationships with William, Kate, Harry, and his grandchildren.
Ranging from his glamorous palaces to his country homes, from his globe-trotting travels to his local initiatives, Smith shows how Prince Charles possesses a fiercely independent spirit and yet has spent more than six decades waiting for his destined role, living a life dictated by protocols he often struggles to obey. With keen insight and the discovery of unexpected new details, Smith lays bare the contradictions of a man who is more complicated, tragic, and compelling than we knew - until now.
With a preface read by the author.

She teaches them to honor royal tradition, even while daring to break it.

Thank goodness I'm finished this!
I bought this book in hopes that it would raise my dim opinion of Charles, acquired over the past 50 years. It didn't; there was very little here to bring out any sympathy for him. Bedell Smith paints a portrait of Charles as eccentric, bumbling, and self pitying, which I'm inclined to agree with, but makes for poor listening.
Like other reviewers I take exception to her unrelentingly critical treatment of Dianna and elevation of Camilla almost to the point of sainthood. It was close to nauseating.
I found much of the book incredibly boring, which was magnified by the monotone delivery of the reader. Does anyone really want to know the minute (and lengthy) details of renovations and decorating schemes done in royal residences? There were some redeeming passages that were interesting, particularly those that were about William and Harry, but these were few and far between.
I would not recommend this book unless you need something to put you to sleep. It is tedious and blatantly biased.
