Flaptekst van de biografie van koning Charles III

By the acclaimed royal biographer and commentator Robert Hardman, Charles III is an intimate portrait of the monarch that draws on unrivalled access to the Royal Family, their close friends and staff, plus previously unseen papers from the Royal Archives.

With damaging headlines unleashed by the Sussexes, political crises and questions about the future of the monarchy, Charles III had no shortage of challenges when he came to the throne. The Royal Family then faced a double blow in early 2024 when the King and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, were diagnosed with cancer. By the end of the year, the King had returned to regular duties, dealing with a new government at home and diplomatic turmoil abroad. As head of state of fifteen nations, he would soon find himself caught up in the new and uncertain world order taking shape following the election of President Trump.

The dramatic story is uncovered here, along with the vital role played by Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Princess Royal and others. From the emotional days following the death of Elizabeth II and the truth about the King’s relationship with Prince William and Prince Harry to his handling of Prince Andrew, Hardman takes us behind the pomp and ceremony to reveal Charles the man as well as the monarch.

Authoritative and richly insightful, Charles III is the definitive account of a king determined to maximize ‘the time God grants me’ – and enjoy it.

Robert Hardman was born in 1965. He is an internationally renowned writer and broadcaster, specializing in royalty and history for more than twenty-five years. He is author of a number ofacclaimed books along with the BBC and ITV television documentaries of the same name. Among other television credits, he wrote BBC1’s Charles III: The Coronation Year, the BBC Two documentary George III – The Genius of the Mad King and the BBC series, The Queen’s Castle. Hardman interviewed the Prince of Wales for the BBC’s Charles at 60, the Duke of Edinburgh for the BBC’s The Duke: In His Own Words and the Princess Royal for ITV’s Anne: The Princess Royal at 70. He wrote and co-produced the BBC’s Prince Philip: The Royal Family Remembers, for which he interviewed a dozen members of the Royal Family.

Andrew Lownie Entitled review en recensie

  • “The Rise and Fall of the House of York is the most devastating royal biography ever written.” (Daily Mail)
  • “This searing biography of Prince Andrew crackles with scandals about sex and money on almost every page. The author’s best-selling biographies have a habit of changing the reputation of famous figures… Although in the case of Entitled, he hasn’t so much cemented Prince Andrew’s reputation, as put it in concrete boots and thrown it in the river. It is hard to see how he might come back from this.” (BBC News)
  • “Explosive … Makes Prince Harry’s Spare look positively restrained.” (Sunday Times)
  • “Entitled, Andrew Lownie’s biography of the Duke and Duchess of York, is a 400-page character assassination.” (The Times)
  • “Schandaalprins Andrew is nog walgelijker dan iedereen al dacht.” (Libelle)

Flaptekst van de biografie van Prins Andrew geschreven door Andrew Lownie

Drawing on four years of research, numerous FOI requests and interviews with over a hundred people who have never spoken before, the book traces the lives of the late Queen’s second son and his ex-wife through their childhoods, courtship, marriage, divorce, careers, and royal and charitable activities.

Still living in the same house, they claim to be ‘the happiest divorced couple in the world’. The book investigates the reality of their relationship and their love lives. It charts Andrew’s record in the Falklands, his business activities and reveals details of how the couple have been able financially to sustain their extravagant lifestyles. It also recounts the full story of the Yorks’ links with Jeffrey Epstein.

Chronicling their lives in parallel, the picture that emerges is of a spoilt prince unable to connect and a duchess pushed by her insecurities into a desperate need to maintain the attention her ‘royal’ status brought. Rigorously researched and packed full of revelations, this is eye-watering biography at its best.

Andrew Lownie was born in december 1961. He was educated at Magdalene College, Cambridge, where he was President of the Union, before taking his master’s and doctorate at Edinburgh University. A Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, he later returned to Cambridge as a visiting fellow at Churchill College. He has been a bookseller, publisher, journalist writing for The Times, Telegraph, Wall Street Journal, Spectator, Guardian and since 1988 has run his own literary agency. He is President of the Biographers Club, sits on the board of Biographers International Organisation and is a Trustee of the Campaign for Freedom of Information. His books include the prize-winning Stalin’s Englishman: The Lives of Guy Burgess (2015) and the top ten Sunday Times bestsellers The Mountbattens: Their Lives and Loves (2019) and Traitor King: The Scandalous Exile of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor (2021).

Flaptekst van de autobiografie van Prins Harry

Het was een van de meest aangrijpende beelden van de twintigste eeuw: twee jongetjes, twee prinsen, lopen achter de lijkkist van hun moeder aan terwijl de wereld vol verdriet en afschuw toekijkt. Toen Diana, prinses van Wales, te ruste werd gelegd, vroegen miljarden mensen zich af wat de twee prinsen dachten en voelden, en hoe hun levens zich vanaf dat moment zouden ontwikkelen.

Met zijn rauwe, nietsontziende eerlijkheid is Reserve een grensverleggend boek vol inzichten, onthullingen, zelfonderzoek en zwaarbevochten wijsheid over hoe liefde het uiteindelijk wint van verdriet.

Prins Harry (15 september 1984 ), hertog van Sussex, is echtgenoot, vader, filantroop, veteraan, pleitbezorger van geestelijk welzijn en milieuactivist. Met zijn gezin en zijn drie honden woont hij in Santa Barbara, Californië.
