From #1 New York Times bestselling author Christopher Andersen comes a vivid and unsparing yet sympathetic portrait of one of the most complex and enigmatic figures of our time: Charles, who has taken his place on the throne after being the oldest and longest-serving heir in British history. Since the day Charles Philip Arthur George was born, he has been groomed to be King. After more than seventy years of waiting, he finally ascends the throne. The King examines the private life of this historically important and controversial figure, set against the grand, thousand-year sweep of the British monarchy. This richly detailed biography covers it all, from his military training to his marriage to Lady Diana, through their separation and her tragic death to his marriage to Camilla Parker Bowles. In the process, it provides a balanced but fully honest look into the life of the new monarch. This book will tell you what the King--a man who has remained something of an enigma, shrouded in speculation and intrigue--is really like. The King is the first biography of Charles since he has become monarch and serves as an authoritative chronicle of his life.

O rei: A vida de Charles III vai além da imagem superficial do príncipe e traz um retrato completo e potente do monarca mais velho a ascender ao trono britânico. Nesta biografia detalhada, o jornalista Christopher Andersen revela detalhes da personalidade de uma das figuras mais enigmáticas e complexas dos tempos atuais. A monarquia britânica sempre atraiu olhares do público em todo o mundo. Apesar de estampar as primeiras páginas de jornais e revistas e de ser um dos nomes mais mencionados durante o século XX pela mídia mundial, Charles, o então príncipe de Gales, parecia uma incógnita para o grande público. Até agora. Tendo como base entrevistas com familiares, amigos e pessoas próximas à família real, O rei narra a trajetória de Charles. Nessa leitura é possível acompanhar o complexo relacionamento de Charles com os pais, sua infância solitária em colégios internos, a juventude na universidade e a carreira militar. O rei aborda ainda a vida amorosa e pessoal de Charles, como o celebrado – e posteriormente conturbado – casamento com a princesa Diana, os casos extraconjugais – o mais longo e conhecido do público sendo o relacionamento com Camilla Parker Bowles, que viria a se casar com Charles em 2005 e se tornar rainha em 2023. O rei expõe ainda o jogo de poder nos bastidores da realeza e o conflito entre esta e o príncipe Harry e Meghan Markle. Em O rei, Andersen vai além da imagem superficial do príncipe que se preparou a vida inteira para ser rei e mostra um homem inseguro e controverso, às vezes impaciente e irritável, outras carinhoso e distante, cujos erros e acertos são analisados sob o olhar da mídia. "O retrato sincero de um líder imperfeito no início de seu reinado." — Kirkus Reviews
