As well as supporting The Queen in fulfilling her role as Head of State and acting as a charitable entrepreneur, The Prince of Wales also seeked to promote and protect the country’s enduring traditions, virtues and excellence. Don't ya have another wish, my lord? This poor fella is too far gone.""Well then, can you make Camilla beautiful?" Charles asks hopefully. In the move known as "Frogxit," it was made public in March that Harry had been told to leave, with the keys being given to the disgraced Prince Andrew. Harry called his father and used his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet to try to change the King’s mind, it is claimed by Scobie in his new scathing book, as per various reports and extracts circulating. Charles is a Greek, a Scot, and related to Dracula. He loves whichever country he is in. He is so amazing he even knows how much water to drink. (I'm not making this up). His divorce wasn't his fault at all, he was almost blameless, and Dianna told lies.
He also sees himself, as head of state, of being a symbol of continuity and stability, said sources. The political turbulence of the early days of his reign saw him no sooner having his first meeting with one prime minster than he was on to his second. The Georgian house in Edinburgh’s New Town area, which is divided into two flats, was given to the queen in 1953 by its previous owner.

Scobie, the author who worked on Finding Freedom - a book about Harry and Meghan - will release his "explosive" new book, on Tuesday. The author, formerly dubbed Meghan's mouthpiece, has penned Endgame a book that is described as "a penetrating investigation into the current state of the British monarchy".
From the time of their marriage, The Prince and Princess of Wales went on overseas tours and carried out many engagements together in the UK. Government papers uncovered by the Guardian show that for decades the property was treated as a state-owned building and used as “grace and favour” homes for dignitaries and employees of the royal household. Yet Our King does perform a valuable service – not in telling its readers anything most of them won’t already know, but in giving an indication of the direction in which the wind of public opinion about leading members of the Royal family is blowing. Jobson is at pains to be nice about the King and Queen, whom some of the tabloids for which he has worked once went to lengths to depict, ludicrously, as the spawn of Satan. (The author’s attitude may have something to do with his desire to garner enough access and information to be able to earn his living, which we should not begrudge him.) By contrast, it is now apparently as acceptable to be candid about the deficiencies of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, as it is about the Mad Couple of Montecito. King Charles and Camilla are driving at night when he runs over a rabbit. He stops to look at the flattened bunny when a leprehaun appears offering Charles a wish. As I noted in my review of https://bargain-sleuth.com/2023/04/27... a few weeks ago, Robert Jobson is a royal historian who has very strong opinions on what makes a good biography. The ability to interview one’s subject is one criteria, and as The Sunday Times royal correspondent, Jobson has had the opportunity to interview King Charles more than once over the years. This does not make him an expert by any means, but it does mean that some quotes directly attributed to the new King came directly from conversations with the author.The author has met the king several times, so you get his personal take at times. It is a biased history, with the author favouring Charles, so readers wanting an unbiased account might not like it, though this isn’t too blatant. I usually prefer unbiased books, but I’ve always liked Charles, so it doesn’t bother me in this case. With just a few weeks to go until the coronation of Charles III, it’s time to do a little reading for yourself. This time the choice fell on the new book by author Robert Jobson, who has written several books about the British royal family.
If a whole layer of middle-management is to be removed then that’s a necessary step that maybe should have been taken some time ago. He obviously sees a need for modernisation, and it looks like he’s going through the process at the moment,” said Little.

The necessary integration of two householdsafter the late queen’s death has inevitably led to a reduction in staff, and the king is also, reportedly, setting about reducing the number of middle managers in his employ. How the king will overcome this remains to be seen, but an ageing royal family could affect its popularity. While the most recent YouGov poll shows a majority (59%) think Charles is doing well, support for the institution in general fell as those questioned got younger, with 80% of the over-65s voicing their approval but only 37% of 18- to 24-year-olds. It is not known whether the queen knew the previous owners of the Edinburgh house – a physician and his wife – before it was donated to her in 1953. It seems unlikely as the queen was only seven when the physician died and his widow then moved to Canada. Certainly, the house was treated as an official gift when it was put into the government’s control in 1954. Since the property is now being rented out on a commercial basis as part of the king’s personal property portfolio, this historic understanding no longer has any validity,” he said. “The king should pay a market price for the property to the government.”
It opens at the end, so to speak, which is something I don’t care for. I prefer stories, whether fact or fiction, to be linear. It opens with Elizabeth II’s death and Charles III’s brilliant speech about the late queen, which I watched when it was first broadcast. This belongs here, but I wish it came in its place near the end, not at the start. He said through the nation’s “deep wells”, it could “raise hope, shared purpose and, above all, a genuine togetherness that will see us through good times and bad”. Reflecting on what made Britain “so special”, he said the nation could draw on “deep wells” including “the breathing space we afford one another.” I'm glad he's not my new king. It's 2022, people. Shouldn't we be finished with monarchies? Why do we insist on allowing inbred half-wits to have the status of royalty?This book is far more balanced than the other book I read from Jobson, and the reader comes away with a clear portrait of who Charles the man is behind the crown. But, as I said, all this information has previously been covered in other books. The only new information is from the past few years and the whole Sussex situation with quotes from Spare by #PrinceHarry. In keeping with the breathless, Sylvie Krin tone of the book – which includes all the members of the Royal family being referred to by their Christian names, with the exception of the late Queen, whose legend demands she receive a unique act of reverence – Jobson does perpetrate some absurdities. He says of the effect the then-Camilla Shand had on her young suitor: “Her sexual energy excited the rather naïve Prince like no-one else previously.” How does he know? Did the King broadcast such a feeling? Did he tell his present wife, and has she broadcast it? One rather doubts that either could be true; yet one feels confident that this expert didn’t make it up, because experts don’t. Doubtless another expert told him. The red-faced monarch remarked "Oh gracious!" as Baroness Louise Casey, who is helping to create his Coronation Food Project, asked whether he minded if guests serenade him. The King looked bashful as everyone joined in - including his wife who also clapped loudly at the end. "We are beyond delighted about it. It is such an honour for us and support for the project just wouldn't have happened without you. We are incredibly grateful to you," Baroness Casey added. The Coronation Food Project was inspired and devised by the King who has long been concerned about waste, particularly when it comes to food and the cost of living crisis. More than 12 million tonnes of food is wasted each year in the UK alone. The project will work with - and crucially raise funds for - existing food waste projects around the country to save and circulate more surplus food and use it for social good.
