About this listen

*The definitive biography of King Charles III, by Sunday Times bestselling author Robert Jobson, published on the eve of the Coronation*

'To Charles, being monarch has nothing to do with power - he believes his role is to lead. It is up to others whether they choose to follow.'

When Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II died in September 2022, it sent shockwaves around the world. The longest reigning and oldest monarch, at ninety-six years of age, she had just publicly celebrated her Platinum Jubilee in June 2022. The Queen's death meant the passing of the Crown to her son, HRH Charles, Prince of Wales, her controversial, earnest, and outspoken heir, who had long lived in the shadow of her mystique.

King Charles III's own life has been marred by scandal and myth, but who is the real man behind the Crown? In this revelatory book, renowned royal correspondent and author Robert Jobson examines the life of our new King, and his passions, purpose, and motivations. On the eve of his landmark coronation, Our King considers the life of the man and the monarch, reflecting on how his values and beliefs will shape him as he takes on this monumental role.

Good written storyline. We are all hopping the coronation day is a success for the King and the Queen.

Good story

Not sure which was worse, the rehashing of old tales for most part of the book or the narrator who seemed to be lodged in some distant past era.
For Australian audiences, references relating to Australia should be corrected - it is either PM Julia Gillard or Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, not a mishmash of the two. Also Geelong Is pronounced Jeelong not Geelong as in geese - with oversights like these Australians may well rush down the republican path!

Rehashing much of the old stuff
