About this listen
Read by the author, Robert Hardman.
By acclaimed royal biographer and author of Queen of Our Times, Robert Hardman, Charles III is a brilliant account of a tumultuous period in British history, full of intriguing insider detail and the real stories behind the sadness, the dazzling pomp, the challenges and the triumphs as Charles III sets out to make his mark.
How would – or could – he fill the shoes of the record-breaking Elizabeth II? With fresh debates about the monarchy, political upheavals and a steady flow of damning headlines unleashed by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Charles could not afford to put a foot wrong. Hardman draws on unrivalled access to the Royal Family, friends of the King and Queen, key officials and courtiers, plus unpublished royal papers, to chart the transition from those emotionally charged days following the death of the late Queen all through that make or break first year on the throne.
This book also reveals how Charles III is determined to move ahead at speed, the vital role played by Queen Camilla, the King’s relationships with his sons and the rest of his family, his plans for reforming the monarchy and how he is taking his place on the world stage.
Charles III is a fascinating portrait of a hard-working, modern monarch, determined to remain true to himself and to his Queen, to make a difference, to weather the storms – and, what’s more, to enjoy it.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I almost sent it back
The description of the funeral Queen Elizabeth was very moving.
I found the narration very boring and flat

A celebration and a window into the coronation
Loved it. a wonderful celebration of the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camila that shares behind the scenes of both their coronation and that of his mother HLMQ. the book is beautifully personal and rich is history. A walk through the history and traditions of the British Royal Family, the aristocracy, parliament and the British people. a joy to listen to, and share in the experience.

Fantastic insights and interesting information
I have really enjoyed listening to what it has been like for KC in his first year. I’m so off Harry and wanted to find out the truth from. QEII staff. They miss her greatly. If you’re a Royalist you will like it. Fantastic insights and interesting information. I have enjoyed the writing style and the author is very well versed.

Royal bliss!
Expertly narrated and conveyed. All of those memories from the late monarch coupled with behind the scenes stories of our new heir and the Royal family. I loved it so much that I played it a normal speed on Apple CarPlay! BZ Robert Hardman, this book is superb.

Enjoyable listen
If you are a royalist or not this is a great listen, it brings a lot of the truth around situations that the media have blown out of proportion or down right lied about. Shows the commitment of one person to their mother and support he shows all of his family in all situations. The narrator is very good except for when he tries to put in some different voices, it’s a wee bit weird. Overall great book and I highly recommend it.
