Summary
No British monarch has had a tougher act to follow. Now, after seventy years of waiting and preparation, King Charles III is not just the head of the most famous family in the world. He is the custodian of a thousand-year-old institution that must redefine its place in the digital age while others insist on rewriting the past. With unrivaled access to the king, the royal family, and the court, leading royal authority Robert Hardman brings us the inside story on the most pivotal and challenging year for the monarchy in living memory. From the death of Elizabeth II through to the ancient spectacle of the Coronation, from the rise of a new Prince and Princess of Wales to the latest truth bombs from the Sussexes, this is the story of the making of a monarch.

Easy to listen to.

Although I did end up liking Charles quite a bit after listening to this book, it’s for the most part pretty boring, with over half of the book about the royal coronation. The author mostly gushes about anything Charles and Camilla and seems to name drop every person in the “peerage”.

This is by far the most tedious, pointless book I’ve ever listened to. It’s an audio version of watching paint dry.
