About this listen

No British monarch has had a tougher act to follow. Now, after seventy years of waiting and preparation, King Charles III is not just the head of the most famous family in the world. He is the custodian of a thousand-year-old institution that must redefine its place in the digital age while others insist on rewriting the past. With unrivaled access to the king, the royal family, and the court, leading royal authority Robert Hardman brings us the inside story on the most pivotal and challenging year for the monarchy in living memory. From the death of Elizabeth II through to the ancient spectacle of the Coronation, from the rise of a new Prince and Princess of Wales to the latest truth bombs from the Sussexes, this is the story of the making of a monarch.

I love the way the author balances his riveting retelling of the King of England’s accession to the throne and the “headwinds” encountered, without getting preachy or biased. He could have been much harsher with describing the shenanigans of Prince Harry and his ghost writers, but keeps it dignified and entertaining at the same time! A good read.

Riveting flow and wonderful detail.

I've veen waiting in anticipation for this book. It was well worth the wait! When everyone seems to have their 'truth' it is heartfelt to have an author write truthfully. I have the Audible's edition but I have to have a hard copy. ..it's that good. Thank you.

The writing was beautiful. I found the personal information wonderful. The seating and the desire for invitations at the coronation a bit of a slog. Enjoyed the information about King Charles method of reigning. What a good man he is... God Save the King..

The fIrst 3 hrs made the whole book worth it
