Publisher's Summary

This is a story of the most well documented, most commented on love affair of our times. Yet the personalities behind the facade remain elusive and the nature of their relationship is an enigma. This is the first major biography of Charles and Camilla, two people who have battled against the curious lot that fate has thrown their way.

Gyles Brandreth returns to the same ground as his last book, the bestselling Philip and Elizabeth; Portrait of a Marriage. This again will be a unique royal biography, as the author has met all the principal players, has had privileged access to the royal family. This will be a powerful and revealing portrait of a remarkable relationship, told with authority and insight and illustrated with photographs from the royal collection.

Bit waffly & sexist

Some unflattering & sexist language about women was unnecessarily deployed at times. Nearly stopped reading then. A bit waffly but not a bad listen. I listened to this while multi tasking e.g. driving the car, cooking dinner. Overall enjoyable & I’m glad I listened but I would only give it 3 1/2 stars
