The King

 

I really wanted to like this book. I've never been as hard on Charles as some people have (my mother, for instance, believes that Diana could do no wrong. I think, in any relationship, there is always some sort of blame that can be assigned to both parties. It isn't fair to say it was 100% one person. But anyway). Unfortunately it was just very gossipy and seemed churned out in a rush. For instance, he cavalierly mentions Prince Phillip having affairs, like it's an undisputed fact, and I disagree. 

Eventually there will be a nice authorized (and of course very sanitized) biography on King Charles III, so I'll just have to wait for that. This one didn't even have pictures.
