Charles at Fifty

As public attention shifts from the mourning of Princess Diana to an examination of her legacy and those who survive her, the time is right to focus on Charles, the man who ruined their marriage and will finish rearing their sons. No one is in a better position to do this than Anthony Holden, the writer who coined the phrase "the People's Princess" and who wrote two bestselling biographies of Charles, published on his thirtieth and fortieth birthdays. As never before, this frank new book unfolds -- in meticulously researched detail -- the Charles/Diana story from both their points of view. It was a love triangle that rivaled Camelot, and Holden describes it from his unique vantage point, including the many occasions and royal trips on which he himself was a participant. What kind of father will Charles show himself to be? How will he choose between his lifelong love, Camilla, and the throne he has spent his life waiting to inherit? Charles at Fifty will uncover the enigmatic Prince of Wales as he begins the most crucial decade of his public and private life.
