"This is the story of the boy born into a royal dynasty and his journey from schoolboy to eligible young bachelor, from fatherhood to beloved grandfather, and now Accession of the throne itself. A fascinating collection of photographs reflects not only his passions for sport, the natural world and the world's religions, but also the moving and magisterial state funeral of his mother and his own task of taking on the role of King. Royalty writer Gill Knappett covers King Charles II's Royal homes and life with his wife, Camilla, now Queen Consort. Also covered is his warm relationship with his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, including the new formal relationship he will have with his elder son as the new Prince of Wales. His new duties and Coronation plans are all explained in the author's easy and accessible style"--Publisher's description
