A must-read … this important book is nothing short of a manual to our future King’s world-view … and Mayer’s book is the first comprehensive attempt to explore and explain what may lie ahead. * GQ *Primarily a celebration of a very special man. * Sunday Times *A vivid and entertaining account of the extraordinary life of the man born to be King … provides us with a new picture of the heir. * Daily Express *[On Catherine Mayer] Shrewd, respected and notably well-disposed. * Observer *Exhaustive yet entertaining. * Will Self, Guardian *What does distinguish Mayer’s book from many others on the same subject is its intelligence, wit and compassion. She is not uncritical of Charles – she is republican after all – but she is sympathetic to him and tries hard to understand him. * Sunday Herald *
