Prince Charles

Author: Sally Bedell Smith
Stars: 5
Review by: MApgar
One of the more balanced portraits out there, if not the most. Charles is certainly a flawed person but he has many positive traits and has been maligned often, sadly a lot by his late ex wife Diana once their marriage went sour. A good woman, she also had her problems, and the book details finely how her husband and in laws tried to help during their rough times. Statements by his sons in that aspect are here, and can be found in several other sources. Many details are given of his relationship with his wife Camilla, their affair during his first marriage and the circumstances, as well as his relationship with his family - Charles has been so hurt by allegations that he had unloving parents that that he appeared showing positive, home movies in a recent documentary 'Elizabeth at 90.'
