Why read it?

1 author picked Charles III as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I am a great admirer of Robert Hardman’s books, and it was hard to pick out just one, but I loved this particular book because it gives the inside story of Charles and his new court.

Hardman always has impeccable sources which get to the very heart of the matter and he answers the question, ‘what is Charles like as King?’ A change of monarch means a change of many things, and I found it fascinating to see how the new King does things very differently from his late mother.
