Mark Gilbert gets back with a short and enrapturing study of Britain's new monarch, King Charles III. King Charles acceded to the throne on 8 September 2022 upon the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. In 2008, The Daily Telegraph described Charles as the "hardest-working member of the royal family." He carried out 560 official engagements in 2008, 499 in 2010, and over 600 in 2011. Does he truly deserve the throne? One of the best eye-openers for the circumstances surrounding King Charles III's life, accession, and coronation is this book.
