A Biography
Charles, Prince of Wales, turned fifty on 14 November 1998. Since the tragic death of his former wife, Diana, his public and private lives have been in more turmoil than ever.
The tragic triangular love story of Charles, Diana and Camilla Parker-Bowles has never before been told in such compelling detail. Anthony Holden, once close to Charles, and then later to Diana, is uniquely placed to present both sides of their marital argument, fuelled by the prince's passion for another man's wife. Holden offers unparalleled insight into the seeds of Charles's adult character in the story of his childhood and youth. He does not flinch from criticism in tracing how Charles reached his current dilemma as a single parent in love with a woman he may never be able to marry.
Anthony Holden is Britain's leading authority on the prince. He published biographies of Charles on his thirtieth and fortieth birthdays.
